    Nice list Bullfan. Jamerson is obviously a consensus pick. Here is my list.

    C - Chuck Nevitt
    PF - Tim McCormick
    SF - Buck Johnson
    SG - Dave Jamerson
    PG - Matt Maloney

    First Team

    5 Hakeem
    4 Horry (I liked him better at PF than SF)
    3 McCray
    2 Maxwell (before the meltdown)
    1 Cassell


    Second Team (because of the way they played)

    5 Smith (Mr. Mean)
    4 Thorpe
    3 Ellie
    2 World B Free (what a shot!)
    1 Brooks

    Hakeem- the best
    Big E (Elvin)- you all must not have seen him play
    Rudy T- this guy could fill it up
    Murphy- until after this season then it becomes officially TMac
    John Lucas- or Franchise- both had their problems here

    2nd team

    Moses Malone
    Sampson/Thorpe
    Rodney McCray/Ellie
    Clyde
    Franchise- or Lucas- whoever is left over

    honorable mention:

    Barkley, Cassell, Horry, Newlin, Chaney

    We never have had an all star small forward.

    What about Rudy-T? I thought he was a 5-time All-Star... and a small forward...

    Last I checked this thread was about our "Favorite Rockets" not necessarily the "Best Rockets". Heck, someone could put down Cato and I wouldn't blink an eye (well I would bat an eye, but I wouldn't say they couldn't do that). If that's their favorite than that's their favorite.

    Hakeem is my favourite center. But I don't have problem with people saying Yao is their favourite center. What's wrong with it anyway? Can you elaborate?
