    The most blatant omission isnt even Clyde Drexler who should be over Tracy McGrady.

    The most comical one is Moses Malone not being on the list.

    You do not know your your basketball history if you do not know Moses Malone.

    Said it earlier in the thread that I have to laugh at anyone leaving Moses off their list. Hakeem played some PF during the Twin towers era, and thus you can put him at the four. Some of you might want to educate yourself on who Big Mo was, and his career as a Rocket. For crying out loud he won not one, but TWO MVP's while with the Rockets AND literally carried a team (without much talent) to the finals.

    yeah, i took McGrady over Drex. Still got visions of that D against Dirk. Obviously, Drex brought more to Houston but he also had Hakeem.

    I think you got it, this is hands down the best lineup, a lot of firepower.

    There is only one C position and I was not moving the Dream to PF.

    If Kelly D made the minimum requirement that players should have played at least 21 playoff games for the Rockets, Tracy McGrady wouldn't even qualify.

    I made the team based how well they would play together, therefore I eliminated the dude who always wanted to play with non rockets like shaq or paul pierce.

    We saw the combination of a young Sampson and young Dream and it was truly awesome.

    Some of you have no idea how good Calvin Murphy was lolol

    Kelly was on to something but I would have Moses in instead of Rudy.

    T-Mac was so lethal until the knee and back took control of his career. I will never forget what he did for this team. With that being said....

    Dream
    Moses
    Drexler
    Harden
    Murphy

    These are the greatest rockets

    At their respective positions

    Dream...best center
    Otis....best four (over barkly)
    Rudy....best small forward
    Drexler.....Harden could be here, but Drexler was is an all-time and champ
    Murphy......wasn't a natural pg, but that was his position. Lethal lil sumb!itch
