The following are a list of guys (in no particular order) who I would love to see in a Rocket uniform. These guys work their butts off and get no respect, no recognition. *Michael Dickerson *Theo Ratliff *Jerome Williams *Brian Grant *Ruben Patterson *Sam Cassell (got left off the ALl-Star squad this year...pathetic)
Theo Ratliff is awesome. It seems no one outside of philly knows about him. Donyell Marshall has been an underated player also. I would love to see him in a rocket uni.
Gary Payton and Kevin Garnett have always been my favorite non-Rockets. Those guys, like Hakeem used to, often carry the entire team on their backs and will their teams to win.
What, there are non-Rocket players worth mentioning? Growing up: Vinnie Johnson, Micheal Williams Now: Abdur-Rahim (by far) and David Wesley (Can you tell I grew up in a Baylor household?)
Baylor, Class of '79. When I was there, Vinnie came back from summer break with his head shaved. This was long before Jordan made that style popular, so the campus paper asked him why he did it. He said he did it so opposing defenses wouldn't recognize him. Classic.
my top 5 outside the rockets are (in no particular order) Chris Webber (the guy is playing fantastic this year) Vince Carter Sam Cassell KG Michael Dickerson
RM95, I bet you didn't go to Baylor. They don't let liberals anywhere near the Baylor campus. It says so in the admissions catalogue. Whoops, I better make sure I keep this on-topic. JJ's my favorite, but I always like when ex-Coogs come home. I'd love to see Bo Outlaw in a Rockets uni. Heck, I think my favorite Rocket from the championship days was probably Carl Herrera. AMIGO!

Kagy, they can even tell by the handwriting. I got my acceptance letter back with stipulation...attend the George F. Will Seminar on Conservativism. I love all former SWC players, now mostly Big XII players including Rice, UH, SMU, and TCU. Even the Aggies...have they ever had one?
I got by their radar because I was a Young Democrat back then and even wore a Carter/Mondale t-shirt to class. We could have held YD meetings in a phone booth. Thankfully, I outgrew that phase.
I don't really need to tell you who, do I??? ------------------ Jen Round One of Malone v. Rodman: Advantage Malone
As usual, Cabbage, you pose quite a poser here. But after a lot of careful thought, I am going with: Chucky Brown He happens to be the finest basketball player in the history of the NBA. And he is the only player who has a really loyal kick ass fan club who is almost finished with a fresh website (www.chuckybrownfanclub.com) give 'em hell, cabbage CBFC
Growing up: Dr J, Magic Johnson and George Gervin. Current: Jason Williams, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett and Bo Outlaw. ------------------ "Society always honors its live conformists and its dead non-conformistis."
Terry Porter(still kicking ass) Jerome Williams(awesome attitude) Sam Mitchell(Still does the dirty work)
Jeff: Jason Williams?!?! There hasn't been a more overhyped player in the history of the game. For every behind the back pass he throws, there is a turnover. Let's not also forget that he is the worst point guard starting defender in the league. He's all about the show, not the game.
