The Houston Rockets fanbase didn’t know exactly what to expect when the Rockets signed Eric Gordon in 2016, and understandably so. Gordon had proven to be a good player when healthy, but his health issues were impossible to ignore.
EG had missed a total of 173 games in the previous five seasons in which he was a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, which led many to wonder whether he would be able to overcome his injuries in Houston. But Gordon made an immediate impact in the Space City, as he won the Sixth Man of the Year in his first season with the Rockets.
