9. Rudi Tomjanovich

This is the largest sheet of rocket ranking rockets. It is not a list of the most important figures in a rocket history or the best coaches ever. If it was one of these types of lists, Rudi Tomjanovich would be no doubt to be at the top or near the top.

It’s said, even as a strictly best list of rocket players, Rudi T still ends pretty high.

These rocket teams beat Patrick Eving and John Starks New York Knicks and Shakuille O’Neal and Anfernee “Penny” Hardai Orlando Magic, so it was not easy to submit those trophies.
