    It's OT, slam dunk.

    There was a two-week stratch when Hakeem went down from Caldwell's elbow and OT scored as much or more than Hakeem while he was out. It shows how great of a role player he was to Hakeem because when he came back OT went right back to playing his role as PF.

    I've said it before, and still wish it today to have a Power Forward like OT again.

    Cassell hardly played all year, Elie was still a scrub who did nothing, Herrera was a bench guy, Horry was just finding himself too. So that only leaves Otis and Maxwell...I vote Mad Max - he always would take and almost always make the big shot. Shame on you guys for picking that scrub Elie...did you even watch those games in '94?

    OT was solid, dependable and an ultimate role player.
    I chose him over Max because of Max's volatile attitude. Max in my opinion would be a no brainer as 2nd most important Rocket that season just because of his scoring which, was known for being erratic, was definitely ON that year. Clutch shots, great defense and without a doubt the most important scoring outburst of the playoffs (game 3 against Phoenix).

    If it wasn't for how he responded in game 3, I doubt we would ever be talking about back to back championships..............But still that attitude.........I know that's what made him what he was on the court but DAMN, he worried me just as much as thrilled me. Trash talking and technicals and this in the finals.

    I had to go with OT, because you need another dependable, calming force on the team.

    It was Robert Horry but i'm thinkin' Mario Elie because I think Horry forgot where he started, and he plays for our division rival S.A. Spurs.

    I HATE THE SPURS :mad:

    I know Elie played for the spurs too but I don't count that because it was 1 year.

    OT had a small head on giant shoulders. You really don't see that body type anymore (Great player though) I'm going with Robert Horry, who used to be athletic and could knock down the big 3.
