    If we are considering only the players on the championship teams and not the coaches, then Rudy Tomjanovich is my favorite player, without a doubt.

    Otherwise, Cuttino, Hayes and Yao are tied for players who started as Rockets.

    Barkley is my favorite player of all time who didn't win a ring.

    Besides TMac, it was Bobby Sura. He made the 04-05 team one of my favorite teams.

    I say Cuttino Mobley too. I don't recall his being an elite wing defender though...

    Bill Willoughby - The only player ever to block Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's "skyhook" at its apex.

    It's may sound surprising but my all favourite Rockets player were on a non-championship team one day

    Brooks, Lowry
    T-Mac
    Battier, Artest
    Scola, Landry
    Yao, Deke

    That's why it was so hard to see this team fall because of T-Mac and Yao injuries and all this fronting issues

    Aside from the more obvious choices I'm going to give some love to Jon Barry.

    He was so money for us in the 04-05 season. He was fun to watch when he was on the court and he seemed like the perfect teammate when he was helping cheer on other players.

    -T-Mac (Loved watching him play in his prime, made the game look so easy, too bad injuries screwed him up, I will always think if he didnt play through that knee injury in 2007-2008, he would still be on the Rockets today)

    -Chuck Hayes (used this guy in fantasy just last season, my friends were making fun of me for getting him on my roster, and Hayes makes one of them pay with a triple double! I end up winning the league by the way)

    -Luis Scola (Such a funny player, very solid post game)

    -Yao Ming (Beast down low, he was awesome to watch when he was on the court, sad to see injuries basically take him out of the game :(, my favorite memory was that fadeaway jump shot in OT against the Blazers although we lost :(, and advancing to the 2nd round, he was very happy which was good to see.)

    -Franchise (Although he pissed many of us off at times, he was really fun to watch, explosive PG/SG, HIGHLIGHT machine)

    -Barkley (Tried his best to get a last chance at the title, injuries plaqued him his last few years here, I hate the Utah Jazz, enough said)
