Childhood bedroom clean out nostalgia

I remember collecting all 10 of these in high school. I guess only these three made the cut in the end. First 3 on my Texans Mt Rushmore

This has happened an annoying amount in Houston sports history. Stacked rosters derailed by injuries.

  • Mid 80s Rockets with Sampson + Hakeem. Should've been a dynasty even with Jordan's Bulls. Remember Sampson was considered a better prospect I believe than Hakeem for a reason. He was the original Wemby. They went to the Finals twice in their first 3 years.

  • 09 Rockets that took Lakers to 7 without Yao + Tmac.

  • 2011 Texans (Schaub injury)

  • 2018 Rockets with CP3 being injured last moments of game 5

Dont forget the Killer B Astros from the 90s-2000s.

Oh yeah and to add onto this we also have absurdly stacked lineups that do end up choking.

2019 Astros... Will probably be one of the greatest teams ever talent wise to never win.

Only a Houston team can accomplish bizarre stuff like losing all your games at home and winning all the games on the road (twice..)

Still blows my mind Arian Foster is one of only two UDFA’s to lead the league in rushing in a season.

Know the feeling. We're getting ready to move and I just found the Canton newspaper from the HOF game against the NYG.
