but before i ramble on, i guess im just a battier fan.Even if Michael Jordan chose not to retire from basketball for almost two full seasons to play baseball, former NBA forward Robert Horry thinks his Houston Rockets would’ve defeated the Bulls if the two teams met in the 19 NBA Finals. I mean offensively okay, battier is just a spot up 3 shooter and he's not much of a rebounder. We're talkin in an era were you can't lay a finger on the offensive player.

Were talking about the best defender againts kobe, the best player in the league for the past few seasons.

In his 3 years in houston he without a doubt deserves 1st team defense recognitions. no way am i saying your wrong with mccray or reid but if were talking about an all time rockets roster, that's the wing defender i want on my squad. and you have him as the best shooting guard in rockets history?Īgain, im not taking away from mccray or reid. you could make the argument about him lacking teammates but individually he has never shot over 43% from the field in houston and has yet to pass the 1st round of the playoffs. he was a top 3 small forward in '81, and could also rebound and distribute very well.īattier may be a good defender, but what else?įirst of all battier has only played 3 years at houston.īattier may be a good defender, but what else?if you want to use that argument, then what has t-mac done? i mean i wish for him a full recovery but lets talk about his accomplishments in houston. Reid was the leader of the rockets, especially during the mid 80's. he was also one of the best defenders in the nba and was named to the first team all defense on one occasion, along with one second team selection.

mccray was a fantastic all-round player who could rebound and distribute the ball as good as almost anyone at his position in the league, on top of shooting the ball well from both the field and free throw line.

he was the starting small forward of the team that went to the finals in '86, and took over as the rockets second best player when sampson went down in '87. Mccray played 5 years, and missed 5 games in total. And I'm not taking away from mccray and reids accomplishments but if you think somebody is delusional for mentioning Shane Battier's name you sir are the one that's delusional.first of all battier has only played 3 years at houston. it only shows lack of respect for his defense and his hard work game after game, season after season in houston. I don't think being one of the best defenders in houston rockets history is delusional.
