11 Moses Malone Moses Eugene Malone was an American basketball player who played in both the American Basketball Association and the National Basketball Association from 1974 through 1995. The center was named the NBA Most Valuable Player three times and was a 12-time NBA All-Star and an eight-time All-NBA selection.

How can you not have the Houston Rockets history without this man: Moses Malone. The 1980-81 season is what Rockets fans think about. Here's a team who got lucky to get into the playoffs despite a 40-42 record, but Moses who would later win the NBA MVP with the same team one year later, led the Rockets to an amazing playoff ride as his 26.8 points per game in the playoffs helped the team upset the Los Angeles Lakers in a mini-series, then they eliminate George Gervin's San Antonio Spurs to set up the Most unusual Western Finals ever with two 40-42 teams in that matchup, but the Rockets won the series over The Kansas City Kings and made their first ever NBA Finals appearance.
