    Okay topfive, I get a little emotional about Houston sports. I quit watching NFL for 3 years when the Hated Bud Adams fired Bum Phillips, but that had a happy ending. I found the Rockets.
    I really don't like Shawn Kemp either

    I agree with him 100%. The last guy I would ever want on the Rockets is Lebron and it isn't close....well, Matt Barnes is 2nd..Westbrook 3rd

    I'd have to agree with this.

    It's not as black-and-white as this to the point of not being a fan anymore, but I'd definitely not support the team as much and watch a lot less if one of the following players becomes a Rocket and gets extensive playing time:
    - Carmelo Anthony
    - Birdman
    - Matt Barnes
    - Draymond Green
    - Rondo
    - Bogut
    - Monta Ellis

    LeBron James. It would be GO SPURS GO immediately for his entire tenure here.

    As I read that, I imagined your Yao avatar laughing at it.

    Damn, that's a great list. Throw a couple of old-school players like Malone and Ainge in there and you've got an anti-Rockets all-star team.

    We can all sleep soundly knowing that Bud Adams died one yard short of an NFL title.

    It would be most difficult to root for Bruce Bowen. That guy was scum.
    Current player...probably Draymond Green. I have no love for Bogut, either.

    @Von Rafer Multiple people have said LeBron.

    I bet they're the same people content with how the roster stands.

    I knew someone might have a comment like this, but it's obvious that the question is basically "what player do you not like?" I do not like LeBron. I'm sure it would be a difficult pill to swallow for Rockets fans to have to root for Karl Malone too, and he's arguably the best power forward of all time (if you say Duncan is a center).

    Nobody. They could trade the entire roster for some combination of Matt Barnes, Kobe Bryant, Draymond Green, Andrew Bogut, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant and the entire '90s Jazz roster, and I would still root for them. But the first time I saw Karl Malone wearing Rockets red, I would have to have a very, very stiff drink.

    No one, but Melo, Barnes and Bogut would come the closest.

    No one currently but if I ever saw Karl Malone in a Rockets jersey, I would throw up until my intestines came spewing out and I died in a horrible mess.

    You could always wait out till that player, in this case Derek F. was waived, traded or let go. He did never suit up for this team.

    No harm done.

    Oooo I got lots! I would stop watching Rockets games due to any of the following:

    JJ Barea
    Bogut
    Ginobili
    JEREMY The Trash Bin LIN
    Jose Calderon
    Raymond Felton
    Javale Mcgee
    Donatas Motiejunas
    Joakim Noah
    Chandler Parsons
    D'Angelo Russell
    Klay Thompson
    Ron Artest


    KAT is slowly making his way to this list. (That giant oompa loompa needs to show me some defense)
