    OK.

    I took:
    Clyde
    CWebb
    Bibby

    Clyde is a no brainer as the best ever to play for Adelman.
    CWeb I think is a no brainer as the second best but from there I think there is a lot of debate. I chose Bibby because of his clutch shooting and ability to get to the rim as well as running Adlemans half court team. Yao just has not been healthy enough during Ricks time in Houston.

    Just to make it clear for everyone else who didn't notice, tinman means who is the best players in Rick's history besides the obvious answer, T-Mac. That is why he is not listed. Tinman respects greatness and T-Mac's middle name is greatness. Which is why tinman didn't bother tarnishing T-Mac's name with these guys who are second tier compared to Tracy.

    I took the 3 best teams that got the furthest, for the Houston Rockets, it was last year's team that made it to play the Lakers, these players were active for that series.

    Same for Portland (2 finals appearances) and the Kings team that almost made it to the Finals but got Robert Horryed

    I took the active players for the teams that got the furthest.

    For the Rockets, it was last year's playoff team.

    Starters
    Yao Ming
    Ron Artest
    Shane Battier
    Aaron Brooks
    Luis Scola
    Reserves
    Kyle Lowry
    Carl Landry
    Von Wafer
    Chuck Hayes
    Brent Barry
    Brian Cook


    For me, the best 'team' is the one that got the furthest. Right?

    My formula:

    Best team = Team that got the furthest

    Sacremento = NBA WCF

    Portland = NBA Finals (twice)

    Houston = NBA 2nd vs the Lakers

    These are the players who played in for those teams.

    Check your stats. The player you mentioned never played against the Blazers or Lakers last year in the playoffs.

    Clyde hands down, those of you didn't watch him during his prime have no idea how good he was back in the day.

    Clyde of course, but shouldn't you put Gone Wafer on the list for DaDakota?
