has anyone mentioned Chuck Nevitt?? let's get off Alan Leavell, former Oklahoma City University Chief!!! :
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I Remember Eric Riley! LOL! Those were the days when the Rockets couldn't get ANY draft pick right. Remeber when the Rockets picked Mirsad Turkan over Rashard Lewis?
Why you have Kelvin Cato on the list but do not have the likes of Vin Baker, Stromile Swift, etc, is beyond me.
I put Barkley on the list because he was on a team with dream and clyde and anything less than a championship would be a bust and thats exactly what happened. You can't blame dream and clyde because hm they won a championship in '95, oh and that was along with sam cassell and robert horry two pieces we traded for charles barkley...I guess the anger just stems from us underachieving during his span with the rockets Stromile era was pretty bad don't get me wrong, since he was gonna become an all star with the rockets according to tmac..
Dude, that is harsh. The guy is entitled to his opinion regardless of rank. According to your logic, is clutch infallible. Barkley to some, is an underachiever who didn't deserve a ring. There is a lot of evidence for this. Personally, I don't know how a guy who supposedly loves the city of Phoenix would have ever wanted to play for us. It is what it is, Barks came here for a ring and really didn't have enough gas in the tank to pull it off. What is the commonality between Stro and Barks? No rings. We are in a league where 22-win streaks mean nothing and only rings matter. We could have been one shot away, or one hundred, at the end of the day it's a loss. Personally I don't see Barks as a Rocket, he had as much of an impact as Stro. Barkley was more of a guest star on the show, it's not like the Rockets' Show ever had him on the cast. With that said, I love the guy. He's got personality, he's got class. Barks is funny and poignant, and I think he says what we're all thinking. He is the Carlos Mencia of basketball. I can understand why people hate him (because of all the things listed above) and they are entitled to believe that.
1. Pippen 2. Vin Baker 3 Shandon Anderson 4. Moochie Norris 5 Mo Taylor And.... Clyde for his last game, with the game tied he shot the ball way too early, Stockton made a 3 and Rox got eliminated.
By far the worst player that ever played for the Rockets was Reece Gaines. I remember watching him get some minutes at the point against the Magic a couple of years back and Jameer Nelson picked his pocket on consecutive plays in the backcourt.....I have never in all my years seen that happen. The guy had no game whatsoever, and I believe the Magic(he came to the Rockets in the T-Mac deal) used a 1st round pick on him.
LOL I was going to mention him. One of the few games I remember of his: he was on fire to start the game, something like 7/8 from the field. The Rockets are inbounding the ball under the opponents basket. Well, the guy lobs it in to Steve Harris, who then proceeds to attempt an alley-oop layup on the WRONG GOAL! Mercifully, he missed the attempt.
here is a 5 on 5 for you: 1.tito maddux 2.rod strickland 3.matt maloney 4.charles oakley 5.charley ward 6.stromile swift 7.vin baker 8.roderick rhodes 9.v.span 10.snotty pippen
Man you are right. I forgot about him. Must have erased that bad memory. Reece Gaines was beyond bad. Ryan Bowen looked all world compared to him. Gaines has improved his game a lot over the years. But man he was bad when he came to the NBA.
