Rockets Matt Bullard: You did not want Calvin Murphy as your roommate

To say that Calvin Murphy has been a pivotal piece of the Houston Rockets franchise would be an understatement, as Murphy first became a part of franchise in 1970. Murphy enjoyed a stellar 13-year playing career, all with the Rockets, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993.

Despite being just 5-foot-9, Murphy could flat out ball on the hardwood, and he amassed an impressive basketball resume. To this day, Murphy is one of the shortest players in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame, which is further proof of the uniqueness of his game.
