Yao means so much to the franchise that he had to have a spot on this roster. He did not have as much success in Houston, which is also why he is not a starter, but a two-time scoring champion and a first ballot Hall of Famer who spent most of his career in the Space City definitely deserves a spot on the roster. Despite five-and-a-half injury-plagued seasons in Houston, he was an All-Star three times and made the All-NBA Second Team twice.
However, putting McGrady on the bench as the Sixth Man makes this bench a tough one to beat. I was tempted to put T-Mac in the starting lineup next to Harden, and that might be how 2K decides to place this team. However, how could you not pick the Dream? First overall pick in ‘84, two NBA championships, Hall of Famer, and all-time franchise leader in minutes, points, rebounds, steals, and blocks.ĭream is the Rockets and he has to be the starting big man on the team. This was tougher than you may think, given how many fantastic centers the Rockets have had in their franchise’s history. He is also a shoo-in to make the All-Time Wizards roster as well, so let’s pit the Rockets and the Wizards against each other and see how it goes. Hayes has been featured before in 2K myTeam and has a very high rating, certainly something that will help the Rockets in this mode. His play from fifty years ago is still being discussed today. He is ninth all-time in the NBA in points and is a University of Houston graduate, giving him a spot in Houston sports lore forever. He was the first Rockets superstar as the team drafted him first overall in the 1968 NBA Draft. Hayes spent seven years in two stints with the Rockets, and despite never reaching the Finals, Hayes had some stellar years with Houston. Let’s put him with all the Rockets greats and let him shine. Drexler only played three-and-a-half seasons as a Rocket, but even the waning moments in the Glide’s career are extraordinary enough to make him the team’s starting small forward.ĭrexler is already featured in 2K through the 1991-92 Blazers and the Dream Team, so adding him in the game is not as difficult. The 1996-97 team is possibly the greatest Rockets team ever assembled, but they failed to reach the Finals, losing in six games to the Stockton-Malone Utah Jazz. He was also the star of some Rockets teams post-Clutch City that do not get as much love as they deserve. He averaged over 19 PPG in his final 3+ seasons of his career, which were all in Houston. His three-point percentage helps him in the game and it will be a huge factor if people decide to use the Rockets’ All-Time roster.Įven though he is traditionally a shooting guard, we are giving Clyde a spot in the starting lineup as a three because his play as a Rocket is worthy of the starting lineup. It will be nice to see Harden next to the people that paved the path for him and compete against the past and present of other franchises to see how he stacks up. Not many teams can say that arguably their best player in franchise history is in their prime right now. A lot of people may slot him at point guard in this game based on his ball-handling skills alone, but Harden is in the prime of his career, and his character for the All-Time roster will be based off his current skill set, which gives the Rockets a huge advantage over other teams in this mode. There is no doubt that he will be featured on this team. This would be Murphy’s first appearance in 2K and would give the Rockets a bona fide, underrated point guard. Murphy has yet to be featured in 2K before, but several gamers have created him as a player before. Standing at just 5 feet 9 inches, he cannot play a position other than point guard, but he is also lightning quick. He is second in Rockets history in points scored and minutes played, and he leads the franchise in assists. Murphy is not well-known outside of Red Nation, but his statistics speak for themselves. Each roster will feature twelve of the greatest players to play for each franchise and gamers will be able to test which franchise reigns supreme.įor our purposes, I thought it would be fun to predict what the All-Time Rockets roster would look like in the game.
NBA 2K just announced this past week that they will be adding All-Time rosters for all thirty teams.
