Final Four: ’15 Harden vs. ’19 Harden / ’18 Harden vs. ’94 Olajuwon
The 16-season bracket is now down to four. With first- and second-round voting complete, we’re moving on to the “Final Four” in our special series examining the greatest seasons in Houston Rockets history.
To no surprise, the franchise’s most recent NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) winners — Hakeem Olajuwon and James Harden — comprise all four of the finalists. Harden knocked off Moses Malone, who is the only other Rockets player to have won MVP, in a pair of Elite Eight matchups.
But of those legends, who had the most dominant season of all? And when? That’s for you, our Rockets Wire readers, to decide.
As a refresher, in an effort to be as neutral as possible, the seedings are ranked by Win Shares on Basketball Reference. Those are based on statistics during each regular season, rather than the playoffs. However, if you’d like to add playoff performance in that year to your criteria, that’s absolutely your prerogative as a voter. With that, let’s get to the voting!
“Final Four” voting will continue through Wednesday night, May 6.
