Olajuwon - Obvious choice Smith - Starting PG for both title teams, great shooter. Drexler - He only played a few years here, but he was easily the 2nd best player in 1995. Thorpe - The fact that he isn't getting more love than Horry is terrible. 2nd best player in 1994, and the results of this polling show me how under appreciated he was. Maxwell - By far the toughest choice. He shot too much, and quit on the Rockets in the end, but his fire helped fuel the team. Elie Horry Cassell Any of those 3 guys could have been at #5. All great role players for the Rockets.
Kenny Smith Vernon Maxwell Mario Elie Otis Thorpe Dave Jamerson Robert Horry was my hardest selection. He should have done more, which I will penalize him for. But he hit important shots. When it comes down to it, I think Drexler gets the fan vote nod over Maxwell though. I'll be at that game. Can't wait.
lol at Charles Barkley.... he played his ass off..... that incident with Shaq swinging at him was hilarious

Exactly, short term memories. Also the love for Elie is ridiculous, just because of the Kiss of Death..
I want to say there is 30 minutes left to vote. Let's get OT some recognition. If not, let's get Eldridge Recasner some love too.
Another myth about the Clutch City Rockets, Dream didn't play with any allstars. http://www.basketball-reference.com/allstar/NBA_1992.html OT was an All Star.
no Otis Thorpe. Garbage. Don't get me wrong, Clyde is a better player. But OT should be on the team. Oh well, there is the 20th anniversary in two years.
Elie got voted for the kiss of death ... Thorpe should have been in ... but except chuck, they all played a great role during the back2back, it was tough choices, and they all have a special place in my memories
Rockets are a classless organisation, I just knew this 'voting' was just ceremonial. You knew they would honour the all-star in Drexler, the career guy in Horry, the famous TNT Kenny and Kiss of Death Elie. It's the 94-95 finals team, shocker, no love for clutch city. Whenever they show footage outside of Dream it's Horry, Elie & Kenny and what they did in 95 playoff run. No love for Max, Cassell or OT and what they did during the 94 run. **** you Leslie and the Rockets organisation, classless !!!
Not sure about rigged. If you look at the Clutchfans vote, they were pretty much similar. Dream was in. We voted for Glide, Jet, Bob overwhelmingly (200+ votes each, 347 votes casted). The only one who they had was Elie instead of Mad Max (and Elie did get about 47% of our vote). Maybe you should question Rocket fans here instead.
