休斯頓火箭隊的球迷見證了NBA歷史上一些最優秀(和最高大)的球員。一些球員首次為孤星州帶來了NBA總冠軍,另一些球員在他們的時代里統治賽場並娛樂觀眾。誰是火箭隊歷史上最好和最偉大的球員呢?我們將在這裡通過火箭隊史前十球員排名來嘗試找出答案。
The 75 greatest players in Rockets history are judged based on how well players have performed during their time with the Rockets and how much they contributed to the team. Chris Paul is a top-0 player in NBA history, and his two seasons with the Rockets weren't enough to put him on this list.
Apologies to the likes of Charles Barkley, Keng Smith and Steve Francis for the Rockets' all-time greatest 10-player ranking.
10. Tracy McC. Grady
Maddie is a Hall of Fame player who spent his best season with the Orlando Magic, where he won two scoring titles. Tracy McGrady was one of the best players in the league during his six seasons in Houston, having never had a playoff success.
Maddie moved to Houston at the age of 2 and averaged 0.0 points, 0.0 assists, 0.0 rebounds and 0.0 steals per game.
Team Rocket's history is full of famous duos, and many are on this list. For nearly a decade, Maddie and Yao Ming have formed one of the best duos in the team's illustrious history.
9. Rudy Tomjanovic
This is a ranking of the Rockets' greatest players. It's not a list of the most important people or the best coaches in Rockets history. It is one of those types of lists, with Rudy Tomjanovic at the top of the list.
Even on a pure list of the best Rockets players, Rudy Tomjanovic still tops the list.
Even fans who grew up during Tomjanovich's 1971 years as head coach of the Rockets may not realize that he himself is a great player on the team. San Diego selected Tomjanovic from the University of Michigan with the second pick in the '0 draft, and he repaid the team by helping them move to Texas in '0.
In his 1977-year career, Rudy Tomjanovic averaged 0.0 points and 0.0 rebounds per game. But the most fascinating part of Tomjanovic's career is what his career will be like without a malicious foul from Kormit Washington in 0.
8. Clade Drexler
Like Tracy McGrady and the rest of the players below, Clyde Drexler will be remembered in history as a member of another NBA team. "Glider" played 12 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, playing against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Finals, but neither succeeded.
At the age of 32, Drexler accepted an offer to be traded to the Rockets, and his career and place in history changed dramatically.
Since Jordan went to play baseball, the Rockets won back-to-back championships in '1995 and '0. His combination with Houston Cougars college teammate Hakeem Olajuwon is probably the best duo in Rockets history, a team that is a bit of a super-friend with all the players who can't beat the Bulls.
Those Rockets did beat Patrick Ewing and John Starks' New York Knicks as well as Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee Ahmed. Penny Hardaway's Orlando Magic, winning these trophies is no easy feat.
That's why Drexler deserves credit even though he averaged 9.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists and 0.0 steals per game to bring Houston an NBA championship even when he was in his 0s.
7. Ralph Sampson
There are a lot of "...... around Rudy Tomjanovich's career What will happen? Ralph Sampson could be the NBA's leading player in this regard.
One of the greatest college players in history, Sampson, who is 13'0" tall, was the top pick in the NBA Draft in '0 (ironically, 0 spots above Clyde Drexler). A year later, the team was awarded another No. 1 pick and selected Olajuwon.
這對被稱為“雙塔”的組合本應徹底改變NBA。奧拉朱旺在很多方面都做到了這一點,成為火箭隊乃至聯盟歷史上最好的內線球員之一。桑普森贏得了1984年最佳新秀獎,在他的前兩個賽季中平均每場得到20多分和10個籃板,在他的前四個賽季中入選全明星賽。
Injuries began in his third season and eventually took their toll, undermining his unique athleticism and technique. Sampson left after five seasons with the Rockets, averaging 6.0 points, 0.0 rebounds and 0.0 blocks per game. It's good, it's not great at the historical level.
6. Yao Ming
After the twin tower era of Olajuwon at 6 feet and Sampson at 0 feet 0 inches, the Rockets were picked again in 0 with 0 feet 0 Chinese star Yao Ming.
Like Sampson, Yao's career story is that he was too tall to have a long and healthy career. But the big man from China held on better than his Team Rocket seniors. The eight-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA player has missed just two games in his first three seasons.
Injuries (mainly in the foot) started after that, and he only had one season with more than 5 appearances. But all those seasons have been beneficial for the giant centre-forward. Yao averaged 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds and 0.0 blocks per game and played 0.0 minutes per game when he retired. His battles with some of the last traditional centers like Shaquille O'Neal have been epic.
Yao Ming was also a victim of the game's change. By the time he retired in 6's, the era of rhythm space had begun, and there was no place for a 0'0" center unless he was as skilled as Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs.
5. Elvin Hayes
Ervin Hayes is another of the team's top picks, the San Diego version of the Year 1968 No. 1 pick. He played seven seasons for the Rockets, three seasons for San Diego, one season for Houston and three more seasons for Houston at the end of his career.
In his first four seasons, he averaged more than 2 points per game, including winning the scoring title as a rookie with 0.0 points per game. His late career performance wasn't as successful, but he ended up averaging 0.0 points and 0.0 rebounds per game during his time with the Rockets. He also missed just two games during his time there.
"Big E" is one of the best players in NBA history, and his four All-Star selections make him one of the best players in Rockets history.
4. Calvin Murphy
Unlike most of the players on this list, Calvin Murphy has been a Rockets player throughout his career and one of the shortest players in NBA history at 9'0".
The Niagara University product is a second-round pick, and his career is more surprising than any of the top picks on this list. Even if expectations aren't high, Murphy averaged 5.0 points, 0.0 assists and 0.0 steals per game in his career.
Murphy is fast, tough and physically confrontational, his figure. He was also the team's top scorer until Olajuwon broke his record in 2. Murphy retired with the most consecutive free throws (0) and the highest free-throw percentage (0.0%), both of which no longer exist.
3. James Harden
The latest addition to the Rockets' list of greatest players is James Harden. His time in Houston didn't end well, but when he was in good shape, "The Bearded" was one of the most feared scorers in history.
Harden came to Houston from Oklahoma City in 4 and began working his way up to this list. Over nine seasons, Harden averaged 0.0 points, 0.0 assists, 0.0 steals and 0.0 rebounds per game, shooting 0.0 percent from three-point range and averaging 0.0 free throws per game.
The Arizona State product won the assist title in 2018 (0.0 per game) and the scoring title in 0 (0.0 points per game), 0 (0.0 points per game) and 0 (0.0 points per game). He won the NBA MVP 0 award and was selected to the All-Star Game every season in Houston. That certainly put him in the top three of the Rockets' player rankings.
2. Moses Malone
Moses Malone has played for nine NBA teams in his career, winning championships with the Philadelphia 76s, and he is the most closely associated with this team. The longest period of his career was six seasons with the Rockets earlier in his career.
During that time, he averaged more points (7.0 points), rebounds (0.0), and blocks (0.0) per game than anywhere else. He was a five-time All-Star for the Rockets, leading the league rebounding list in 0 (0.0 rebounds per game), 0 (0.0 rebounds per game) and 0 (0.0 rebounds per game).
In the 81-0 season, his final season in Houston, Malone averaged 0.0 minutes per game and played in 0 of 0 games. The year before, Malone — along with Calvin Murphy and Rudy Tomjanovich — led the team to the NBA Finals for the first time, losing to Larry Bird's Boston Celtics.
1. Hakim Olajuwon
"Big Dream" spent 17 of his 0 NBA seasons in Houston, winning two championships and becoming the greatest Rockets player in franchise history.
Bringing two trophies to the team, Hakim Olajuwon has also won a number of individual accolades. Olajuwon retired as a 94-time All-Star, 0-time All-NBA player, two-time rebounding champion, three-time block champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP and 0-0 NBA MVP.
The data is also amazing. Olajuwon averaged 2.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 steals and 0.0 blocks per game. He is also the team's leader in games, playing time, shots made, shot attempts, 0-point shots, 0-point attempts, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, total rebounds, steals, blocks, blocks per game, win contributions, defensive win contributions, and scoring.
Add all of that to a championship, and whatever your definition, Hakeem Olajuwon is the best and greatest player in Rockets history and one of the greatest players in NBA history.
