    Keep seeing this thread, so I decided to make a Pantheon

    He definitely has the ability to be Pantheon material, but one All Star appearance and two first round exits does not constitute "pantheon" status. I 100% agree his trajectory is for the Rockets pantheon, but this thread was a bit premature.

    Get everyone off there who didn't contribute to a Rockets playoff series victory.

    I'd put Scola and Battier ahead of Frances and McGrady.

    This pic was "inspired" by some of the comments in the thread.

    Lol 1 all star game?

    2 all NBA teams in 2 years, likely a 3rd this year ties him with Tracy for 4th in franchise history behind Malone and Hakeem and Yao.

    Maybe, I just remembered him looking very passive while we were being raped. I was so pissed that game. He wasn't the only dude who looked like he didn't care out there that night tho.

    Yes, I am fully aware it's probably early for him to be in the pantheon, but I just have this feeling that, barring injury, he'll be there soon.

    Given that the Rockets pantheon kind of sucks, it's not that hard to do. You've got one all-timer in Dream, a bunch of guys who were great, but spent only bits and pieces of their prime in Houston (Drexler, Hayes, Malone, and yes, T-Mac who was a devastating force in Orlando), and a a few "could've been a true great if not for injuries" like Yao and Sampson (and T-Mac again)).

    On top of that you have fringier players like Rudy and Calvin and Steve Francis.

    Harden's already up in the middle group, he stays good he moves up towards the top.

    Not to mention his poor all around performances in the playoffs.
