If not . . Hakeem is the only person to have won a championship without another single solitary Hall of Famer on his team. Rocket River
isn't isiah the only member of the bad boys in the HoF? Although Rodman probably deserves it. I'm not so sure anyone but Wallace from the '04 pistons team will make it either.
Adrian Dantley was on the 88-89 team. He's in the Hall. Joe Dumars was on both teams and is in the Hall.
Nope! His greatness did not rely on piggyback riding with anyone. Just dump it down low and let the man do work.
sigh, you know it's sad when our current rockets team is so irrelevant that we always have to revert to talking about the 94 and 95 rockets.
One could say we are 1 HAKEEM away from a championship We just thought YAO was that guy . . . . Rocket River
the 94 and 95 Rockets are the reason why this place is called Clutch fans. it was named after Clutch City, not your favorite era Crutch City.
Does anyone ever wonder what would have happened had we acquired Sean Elliott for Horry and Bullard? Elliott was a really good scorer for a few seasons after we rescinded the trade.
Richard Hamilton - I thought maybe Rip would get in but Looks Like Ben Wallace has a better shot. Ben Wallace - He has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award four times, a record he shares with Dikembe Mutombo. Wallace was a member of the Detroit Pistons team that won the NBA championship in 2004. Accolades: * NBA Champion: 2004 * 4× NBA All-Star: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 * 4× NBA Defensive Player of the Year: 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 * 6× All-NBA Defensive Team: * First Team: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 * Second Team: 2007 * 5× All-NBA: * Second Team: 2003, 2004, 2006 * Third Team: 2002, 2005 * 2× NBA regular-season leader, rebounds per game: 2002 (13.0), 2003 (15.4) * NBA regular-season leader, blocks per game: 2002 (3.5) * 2× NBA regular-season leader, total rebounds: 2001 (1052), 2003 (1026) * NBA regular-season leader, total defensive rebounds: 2001 (749) * 2× NBA regular-season leader, total offensive rebounds: 2003 (293), 2006 (301) * NBA regular-season leader, total blocks: 2002 (278) Rasheed Wallace - outside shot I guess at best Rocket River
don't worry, i was around for clutch city. you don't need to make an incorrect assumption about when my favorite rockets era was.
