Ranking the Top 25 Players in Houston Rockets History | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Tracy McGrady was the Rockets from 2004-2010. He came over to Houston after leading the league in scoring in back-to-back years with the Orlando Magic, and the world was expected of him with his new team.

He failed to deliver a championship, but he did deliver a scoring average of 22.4 points during his five-plus seasons in red. He did so on poor shooting percentages that never exceeded 43.1 percent, so maybe that's a reason why his teams weren't more successful.

McGrady was the face of the franchise while there, even with Yao Ming in the fold. He's one of the most popular NBA players of the past decade or so, and Houston fans treated him like a king during his first four seasons there. After he failed to deliver championships, though, the relationship began to go sour.

He may very well be the best pure scorer in team history, and that's why he makes the top 10. He may not have been as efficient as Otis Thorpe, but he scored at a much higher output and was the face of his team.
