    Not odd at all if you read the thousands of hate posts thru the years

    When have your opinions ever mattered?

    Go back and read posts from 2000-2004. The treatment is similar to what Harden and Green received.

    well, these things increase based on technology and how complaining the young blood is about everything. my answer from that perspective would be CP3 for not showing up when we needed him the most to get to the finals. Second to that would be Harden's lack of complete game and terrible defense.

    I was not around for Sampson. I just know through family members, other fans, and reading about him that many blamed him for the Boston and Seattle series losses. Also was frustrated he couldn’t stay healthy. Perhaps he shouldn’t be on the list. But the list is already made. It is what it is

    A lot of those volume "haters" were in their diapers when Pippen played for the Rockets.

    I guess if clutchfans threads are the criteria but still silly to include guys like our 2nd best player ever in a poll for the most hated rocket ever.

    i think the only guy on that list that wouldnt get an ovation at a game would be pippen

    I include both fans and the media. If you are referring to Harden, yes he did receive a lot of hate.

    Is Scottie P really a Rocket even? He’s a P no doubt but a Rocket? Scottie not even a Rocket. Charles is more Rocket and he’s not really a Rocket either

    Gotta be T Mac for quitting on the team mid game.

    Barkley played his ass off for the Rox. We would have demolished the Bulls with him in 97 if we hadn’t been cheated by Utah. **** Utah.

    You probably weren't even alive then. Francis was loved, and he's the reason we got Toyota Center built.

    I don’t respect liars. Besides what’s cringe other than your worthless comments? I made a poll you don’t agree with since you believe there’s only one answer then became an annoying bi+ch about it. Worthless as in all your posts have been. That’s your legacy

    I understand Pippen being the overwhelming choice -- but personally, I'd say Kelvin Cato.

    Rockets were dumb enough to offer that contract after 9 blocks in a *preseason* game, then he proceeded to suck.

    Wonder why he sucked?? He literally did not give a f***.

    Check this --- my friend owned a moving company back in the early 2000's and Cato was one of his clients. They were talking about the Rockets (of course, right) and Cato said, "F*** Houston". This happened while he was playing games for the team. Didn't want to believe it because I was somewhat hype for his potential --- but.... Kelvin gave no f**ks about living up to the contract.

    I agree with Pippen and then Royce the greyhound bus White. What a shitty draft pick that was lol..

    As much as the last year or two McGrady was here, led to me to disrespecting his sorry ass, the prior years were remarkable.

    I wasn’t a fan of Barkley ever being here, so I’d have him up there.
