    Seeing as how Yao had to guard him most of the time it wasn't his fault.

    My all time toughest Houston Rockets, not skill level, just all around tough :mad: :mad: :mad:

    center= Moses
    power forward= OTIS THORPE
    Small Forward= RON ARTEST
    Shooting Gaurd= MARIO ELIE
    Point Gaurd= Calvin Murphy the 70's pimp

    I dont think these guys would be pushed around by any Jerry Sloan team or the baby boy pistons.

    Considerable mentions: Carl Amigo Herrera, Charles Jones, Mark Bryant[dude was a thug], Charles Barkely- upset me when he played against Karl Malone

    tin man my list derived from just all around being tough, BARKLEY spoke so much trash and never backed only when he got us passed Kemp and the sonics, but dude Malone bent him over in those conference finals, by the way Hakeem best center hands down but you have to agree he was not the toughest guy in a rockets uniform. Taco bell comercial of 96 the dude picked SOFT, while Shaq picked hard!........I rest my case! thanks for reading tin man

    Someone of your statements are flawed and taken out from the Mcgrady stereotypes. McGrady is not below average toughness, if you can play through with as many injuries as him, you are very very tough. Not to mention he was still top in the league despite the injuries. However, mentally, he may not be top in the roster.
