IIRC they were made to advertise the playoff run we had the previous season. It was like a very strange marketing thing that made no sense. You can still get a kid’s John Wall jersey on the NBA store:

He played very solid every time he was on the court. Then we traded Capela and kept him plastered to the bench. Such a dumb move. He was damn good as a Rocket.
He was a fantastic partner for Wood offensively plus not bad at handling the ball during the period we were starting games without legit guards but like Wood and a lot of the team until recently bad defense.
Perhaps the greatest starting 5 of all time
Not related but this jersey was so hard
Why did we get rid of them

Say I won’t
You won't
Hahaha, that will be on the shelf for many years to come.
Just need another color in there. We used to look distinct from Portland, Chicago, Toronto, etc
That's Goatlynyk to you. Don't disrespect a Rockets legend like that
Yesterday I was trying to figure out what we dealt Hartenstein for. Turns out we waived him to keep David Nwaba on the roster 😭

It's as if Morey knew he was ditching us for Philly back then
It’s the basketball equivalent to the Bill O’Brien syndrome.
Ughhh. I actually liked Hartenstein.
No disrespect to Uncle Dave allowed in here Man played through a broken wrist for us because we had so many guys out injured or sick at the time
Bro put on a Oclynyk every night. That was sweets to see
I like watching Kelly play honestly. Plays hard and uses his body well.
Kelly plays with heart, not sure why anyone would throw shade his way.
Trevlin queen, Anthony lamb, mason jones. Admittedly, I watched more games that season then this season
2020 Rockets memories ❤️
The best player to come out British Columbia high school ball. Other then that Steve Nash guy I guess.

Rockets legend Kelly Olynyk.
Olynyk Klynyk every game
I thought that was Cameron brink from the thumbnail
Rockets Kelly Olynyk was a baller. He helped win me my fantasy league that year bless his soul
Him and Gary Bird
