Sometimes the statistics do lie. Or they don't tell the entire story. At least until you get to the only one that really matters -- seven NBA championships, the most in history by anyone who isn't Bill Russell or one of his teammates. The first two came with the Rockets, the team that made him the No. 11 pick in the 1992 Draft. Some might argue his inclusion on this list, considering he spent only four of his 16 NBA seasons in Houston. But it was his tremendous length as a defender and weak-side shot blocker and his ability to stretch the floor with his 3-point shots that finally unlocked the door to the throne room for Hakeem Olajuwon. And he was always there at crunch time. His jumper in Game 1 of the 1995 Western Conference finals to beat the Spurs. His trey in Game 3 of the 1995 NBA Finals to beat the Magic. The legend of Big Shot Rob would only grow and grow over the years. But it began in Houston.
