    Ok, but you didn't say your favorite. You said best.

    Do they not fall into that category because you didn't watch them?

    And Steve was in the timeframe you counted. When he was with us the first time he was a hell of a player.

    Well from the ones I've seen, they're the best and no, Francis should not be in there ever. He was a competitor and gave us some highlights but that's it. He was a ballhog and never tried to put the team first, although Rudy T is partially responsible. He didn't change when he went to Orlando, even though he promised something else in the press conference to take a jab at Tracy, and went on with his 1-on-1 play and just making the highlights. He even admitted it used to be all about being in the top 10, just being flashy and that he's now at a time in his career *cough* where he's all about making something happen in the playoffs. Guess what, it's too late. He was a good friend to Yao so I respect for him for that and his competitiveness but that's it. Funny how Mobley had a better career than Francis while Stevie had more God given talent. The reason Olajuwon left supposedly had something to do with Francis too

    P.S. Sorry for getting away from the original topic but I just had to respond

    I can just name all the great players who played for the Rockets but that wouldn't mean anything. Now it means something because I've actually seen these guys play. You're right, I'm still a youngster, how did you know ;)

    You have to acknowledge that we were a decent team and that was Steve. Cat contributed as well, but aside from those two there wasn't a whole lot left. Steve had his faults, but was great for us for a time. He definitely had more talent than Cassell and Smith. He may not have had a great b-ball IQ, but had tons of heart.

    For me he's in there. So are the other guys I mentioned. Not just throwing names out. Looking at their numbers, accomplishments, teams, highlights, etc, they are in there.

    On the original topic, odom is a douche and will probably be suspended.

    Should we start another topic :p Steve had more God given talent but Kenny and Cassell worked harder and excelled their game to a level Steve never achieved.

    Wow NBA...Odom got involved in the lil fight...that's a SUSPENSION.

    NBA sure was quick to suspend Amare for stepping a toe on the court in that playoff game even though it was clear he had no intentions of getting in someones face...Odom got off the bench, and tried to get involved...Suspension.

    I said "Probably" and think that the NBA should be doing a better job of protecting it's players.

    Ridiculous that they didn't suspend him for 1 game....Stu Jackson is a moron.

    I 100% disagree, down 30, it was a dangerous play, and no one that has ever played the game could tell you that Ariza didn't know what he was doing with a straight face.

    I mean I still play the game and could undercut people and make it look accidental....that was a dirty play.

    IMO, Stu should protect Rudy more, this is no penalty at all, and it will encourage others to make the same play....which is dangerous.

    Bruh.

    He went for the ball but it really doesn't matter. If I wanted to hand someone a hard foul this means all I have to do is look at the but hit someone in the head while looking at the ball and i'll get away with it.

    That is Bruce Bowen stuff.

    But Odom better be suspended. According to NBA rules that's a automatic suspension, and when Amare did it they made sure to remind everyone that they suspended him according to these rules despite it being clear he didn't mean to do anything wrong.
