Centers: Hakeem Olajuwon, Yao Ming, Ralph Sampson

Forwards: Moses Malone, Rudy Tomjanovich, Charles Barkley (?), Clyde Drexler

Guards: Calvin Murphy, Mike Newlin, James Harden, Tracy McGrady, Kenny Smith, Sleepy Floyd

Starting lineup: Olajuwon, Malone, Drexler, McGrady, Harden

Houston Rockets have three great centers able to play the twin tower to Hakeem Olajuwon (Malone is put here as power forward to not overcrowd the position).

James Harden will retire as the best guard to ever play for the Rockets, but right now that title belongs to Calvin Murphy, a Hall of Famer, who has spent 13 years with the team. When it comes to team success, Harden already surpassed McGrady, another prolific scorer and his backcourt partner in the starting lineup.

Charles Barkley is here with a question mark, as it hasn't yet been confirmed if he'll be present in the game. If not, he might be replaced by Robert Horry, a seven time NBA Champion, who the Rockets traded away to get Barkley.
