Former Rocket Shane Battier gets some love as a “revolutionary” defender

Over at basketballnews.com, there’s currently a series called Blazing the Trail, where writer Mat Issa breaks down some of the most revolutionary players of the 1990s and 2000s, featuring guys like Reggie Miller, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Kemp, Chris Webber, Penny Hardaway and more.

But one former Houston Rockets players who was less statistically inclined than the others also made the list, and the write up is certainly worth a read for anyone who fondly remembers those fun Rockets years or any new fans who weren’t old enough to be engaged with the team at the time.
