    Moses
    Calvin
    Rudy T
    Olajuwon
    Thorpe

    Maxwell should've been in the listed, maybe even instead of Drexler. Drexler contributed big to our second championship but Maxwell was our 3rd scorer for years and this poll shows how easily he's forgotten.

    Matt Baloney beat the Sonics and sent us to the WCF!
    Sam Mack one stood in one place while Jordan jumped over him and nearly poked Mack's eyes out. Refs called the foul on Mack. Worrell-isms ensued.
    2 sanwiiches played 4% of the time, Murphy mentioned "two sammiches" 65% of the time.
    Its Chili Pete
    Tabak has something Adelman, Yao, McGrady, etc... dont have. A ring

    My Rockets fave five would be :

    Vernon Maxwell (Mr. Clutch and Jordan stopper)

    Akeem Olajuwon (without da 'H' was fierce and unstoppable)

    Bobby Sura (played one year but that takedown on Josh Howard during the playoffs was classic)

    Lewis Lloyd (dude can finish the break and looked good doing it)

    Robert Horry (During the 96' playoffs when we lost to Kemp and Payton, Horry by himself almost brought the Rockets back when everyone else gave up)

    It's top 5 players, regardless of position, right?

    That's how I voted:

    Hakeem Olajuwon
    Moses Malone
    Elvin Hayes
    Rudy Tomjonavich
    Calvin Murphy

    McGrady making this list over Barkley is a joke, even if Sir Charles had a decade of better seasons elsewhere.

    C) Olajuwon/Yao
    PF) Barkley/Thorpe
    SF) Horry/Elie
    SG) Drexler/Maxwell
    PG) Cassell/Francis

    fave ten. never saw the old timers play, but Calvin would definitely be on the announce team.

    Where are Barkley and Stevie?

    That's a tough lineup to vote for.
