Barkley said "Who the hell is Chucky Brown" before a playoff game. Little did he know Brown held his own against him that series. 10)Moochie- The guy was a crowd favorite! I remember when he played his first game, I was like, "where the hell did we find this guy". He comes in crosses the hell outta some guy lol. Moochie's crossover was serious (too bad he used it everytime). Gotta love it!

1. Hakeem Olajuwon 2. Tracy Mcgrady 3. Robert Horry 4. Yao Ming 5. Mario Elie 6. Vernon Maxwell 7. Clyde Drexler 8. Sam Cassell 9. Cuttino Mobley 10. Rudy T. for coachin us to the championships.!!!!!
1. Hakeem - you figure it out 2. Maxwell - actually was my most favorite player, until I realized how good Hakeem was...Mad Max could lose his temper, but I'd take the guy to war with me anyday....one of the few men who could D up MJ and then would proceed to talk smack in his face, and when he got hot you could forget about it.... 3. Horry - CLUTCH.....even when this guy played for the Lakers teams that I hated, I found it hard not to root for Rob....always played big when it mattered (on both ends of the floor) 4. Cassell - one of the gutsiest dudes to ever play the game, I'll never forget his shot against the knicks and his play against Phoenix in Game 7 of the '94 semis..... 5. Elie - the definiton of "tough"....there's a reason he was the junk yard dog..... 6. Thorpe - I hated to see him go in '95....O.T. is a dream power forward for any team with a great big man...I used to always enjoy his one handed dunks...always played hard and was probably the most consistent of the role players in the first title run 7. Drexler - I hated to see O.T. leave, but I knew we had a better chance of winning with Clyde....he saved us in semis against Phoenix and in the finals against Orlando.....it was an automatic two points on a fast break when his head went down 8. Smith - wasn't great, but played big in game 5 of the '94 WCF and Game 1 of '95 Finals 9. Herrera - I wish he was healthy for the 2nd run, that would've made us that much more dangerous....he played big in game 6 and 7 of the '94 Finals 10. Rudy T - I won't lie, it doesn't take a genius to figure out give the ball to Hakeem and get the hell out the way, but him calling a team meeting before game 2 of the '95 Finals, because the rockets were to relaxed is something that I'll never forget. Honorable mention: Chucky Brown, Charles Jones, Chilcutt, Barkley, Eddie Johnson, Kevin Willis, Sam Mack, Francis, Mobley, Moochie, Tmac, Yao, Battier, Mike James, Jon Barry, Chuck Hayes, Juwan, Murphy, Scott Brooks I'm sorry but those championship teams are the players that I grew up loved watching.....its hard for me to rank current players over them.....
