In the days of player empowerment and constant moving around teams, it feels like there are more players than ever that are guarantees for the Hall… but possibly no teams that want to hang their number in the rafters. Who do you reckon falls into this category?
we were irrelevant franchise and he came and turned us into championship contenders and when he left he set us up with nice Nets haul
And you think that him becoming a trade piece is worthy of his jersey to be put next to Yaos, Clyde & Hakeem? A team that didn’t feel like Mcgrady deserves it.
He did work in Houston, and he brought you to the conference finals twice I believe. But Idk, doesn’t seem like a mountain top
McGrady? In Houston?? Bruh 😅
idk if you are just ignorant of houston rockets history or something but Harden literally was the face of the franchise his entire 8 year tenure in Houston. Tmac was a great player while he was on the Rockets but he isn’t even in the top 10 points all time for the franchise, while Harden is SECOND. Harden is a Rockets legend. Winning a championship is not the be all end for someone’s legend status with a team.
Sorry, my viewpoint is a little tainted by having 17 banners in the rafters.
But still, they retire the jersey for what a player did for the team not for his career accolades he got while he happened to be on the team.
you speak like you earned those banners lmao
yao never made it past the first round and never won mvp or nba 1st team. Harden was a top 5 player in the league for 5 years with Houston and was a game away from a finals appearance if chris paul doesn’t go down. He won an mvp and broke a shit ton of records. Dude averaged 36 a game woth them. In what world dont they retire hardens number his career has him as low as 6 all time and as high as 3 as far as shooting guards go.
