    Wanting to see where everyone rank their all-time "favorite" Rockets player by position...here's my list

    Center: Hakeem Olajuwon
    Power Forward: Robert Horry
    Small Forward: Ron Artest
    Shooting Guard: James Harden
    Point Guard: Steve Francis

    But.. you have to pick your player by the position they played for our team.

    In every thread like this, some people cheat and put Dream at the PF position even though he himself--in his book no less--said he was always a center and only wanted to play center. I love Moses and Yao, and if one of them is your favorite center, that's cool. You have to leave Dream off this list though.

    And for all-time list, there is only one answer at center.

    Center: Hakeem Olajuwon
    Power Forward: Luis Scola
    Small Forward: Shane Battier
    Shooting Guard: Tracy McGrady
    Point Guard: James Harden

    Though Yao is my 3rd favourite Rocket all-time after Beard so he fully deserves an honourable mention, he just can't beat Dream, but literally noone can.
