Rockets WILD Decade: James Harden MVP Dominance, Silas TANKING Years, Alperen Sengun & Udoka NEW Era

Houston Rockets fans relive a decade of electrifying highs and crushing lows as the Locked On Podcast Network’s celebrates its 10-year anniversary. From James Harden’s MVP dominance and iconic “unguardable tour” to the heartbreak of Chris Paul’s injury and the unforgettable “Tunnel Gate” saga against the LA Clippers, every key Rockets moment is on the table. Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) spotlights franchise-altering trades, including the arrival of Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant, while dissecting the relentless rivalry with the Golden State Warriors.

The episode doesn’t shy away from the rebuilding years—Jalen Green’s explosive rookie season, Jabari Smith Jr.’s clutch heroics, and the “Pray for Victor” era all get their due. Insights on coaching changes from Mike D’Antoni to Ime Udoka, plus the impact of core players like Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet, and Eric Gordon anchor the conversation. What memories stand out most from the past ten years, and can this new Rockets core recapture the glory days?
