The honorary list should only include the guys who brought us the championships: Dream Clyde Horry Sam Vernon Kenny Mario OT It is up to TMac and Yao to make that list change this season.
You honestly hated Wesley more than Mo Taylor, Cato, and Swift??? Guys who took the money and ran (more like ambled) all the way to that Wings place down the corner??? Sorry I just don't see it.
1. Hakeem 1a. Akeem 3. McGrady 4. OT 5. Cassell 6. Maxwell 7. Clyde 8. Ralph 9. Mario 10. Nick Anderson (had to steal that one...too funny...and too good.)

When another player or players is responsible for the Rockets winning a championship, I will add them to the list. The Rockets have not been out of the first round in ten years.

My top 10. I feel like i need to justify my choices...it's the debater in me: 1. Dream--Unmatched sophistication in the low post combined with a body that must have been built in a lab to destroy men at basketball. Best center of the era of great centers. No water during day games at Rammadan. The only man to bring us the chip. No contest. 2. T-mac--Unstoppable when he's hot, unselfish, smart, great personality, cares enough to cry. 3. Horry--Clutch. Hustle. Think all the stuff we love Chuck Hayes for, plus a buttery jumpshot and ball handling skills. 4. Calvin Murphy--To be fair, i only ever saw him on random internet videos and ESPN Classic...but i love the way he plays. Immaculate jumpshot. Bulldog defense. Baton Twirling skills. 5. Yao--constantly improving, with a great attitude. works as hard as anybody in the L. 6. Sam I Am--looks like an alien, plays outta this world 7. Kevin Willis--his biceps are bigger then my head. easily. and he's not even flexing... 8. Boki. I was at the Karl Malone game. Those of you who know what I'm talkng about realize i need no further explanation. I almost cried. 9. Mad Max--I find the fact that he's bat**** insane somewhat endearing 10. Cat In my opinion, the only reason any of the Stevie Franchise teams wern't perenial bottom dwellers. HATED (in no particular order) Matt Maloney Stromile RyBo Cato Pippen Karl Malone...I know, I know, he wasn't ever a rocket...but we were talking about hate and basketball....I can't help myself sometimes.
I was utterly disappointed to read the entire first page of this thread and not find a single mention of Bob Sura. JeopardE faints.
