    I don't think that Yao did better than Sampson did statiscally in his first three seasons. Sampson won ROY, and was actually second-leading scorer (I remember so) on the team in 1986 which went to the Finals. Yao, although he has been good, has not yet averaged over 20 points.

    Word, who knows what the rockets could've done had Sampson not got injured. Him and the dream ran the court like no other big man duo. They could've possibly gone on to win several championships and Hakeem might be held in higher regard than Jordan even.

    Also: Matt Maloney, Juaquin Hawkins (what happened to him?), Don McLean, Terence Morris, Tito Maddox, Sean Colson, Anthony Miller, Devin Gray, Bryce Drew, Thomas Hamilton, Stanley Roberts, Rhodrick Rhodes, Charles Jones, Joe Stephens. Some of the finest players to put on the Rockets jersey in recent history. [​IMG]

    Rhodrick Rhodes, now there's a name I forgot about. I thought he was going to have a long and productive career in the NBA. I thought he would be a Bruce Bowen type, defensive specialist. He would work so hard on the defensive end, and was also capable of taking it to the rack.

    Here's a nice read on him Read Me
