The modern NBA is all about versatility. In 2025-26, the Houston Rockets should be one of the most versatile teams in the NBA.
The league's recent history tells us how valuable that is. The Warriors won multiple championships by playing the 6'7" Draymond Green at the 5. The Milwaukee Bucks won their title with a surplus of size at every position. There's no one surefire path to the NBA title. More accurately, having the footwear to walk whichever path is quickest tends to be the key to success.
Luckily, the Rockets have one of the league's best shoe collections.
