    As far as peak play:

    Hakeem
    Harden
    Moses
    CP3
    McGrady

    The last two had very short peaks. Chris Paul was extremely good when healthy in his first year with us. McGrady's peak lasted about 35 seconds. :)

    As far as overall career, I think I'd agree with Yao and Calvin over those two, but that's hard. Does anyone have a list of all Rockets who made an all-nba team?

    Yao was great but having him over Harden is a complete joke

    For me it goes:
    1. Hakeem
    2. Moses
    3. Harden
    4. Elvin
    5. Yao

    You’re trolling almost as hard if you don’t have Hakeem at 1 than not having Harden as 2.

    Do better
