League Search Page > NBA > Houston Rockets > Roster & Statistics
The 1998–99 Houston Rockets relied on Hakeem Olajuwon as their leading scorer and interior anchor, while Charles Barkley dominated the glass and contributed as a secondary playmaker. Scottie Pippen added versatile all-around production with perimeter defense and ball movement, giving Houston multiple playmaking options. The Rockets combined efficient offense with strong rebounding and balanced contributions, though their defense was closer to league average than elite.
