Sean Pendergast assesses which hot streak by a Houston professional athlete was the best.
It may not feel like it at the moment, given the stark rebuild the Houston Rockets and Houston Texans are undergoing, but we are not all that far removed from the"sports supernatural" being somewhat normal around here. For all his warts in the"effort" department, James Harden did some remarkable things. For all his warts in the"lawsuit" department, Deshaun Watson was one of the most dynamic players in the NFL.
Those days are long gone in the basketball and football departments, even if things are looking up as compared to a year ago. However, then there is baseball. In that sport, we are still seeing some incredible stuff, and in that realm, the future is Yordan Alvarez.
The Astros are on their way to another ALCS berth in October, while running away with the AL West title again, and yet as I watch Alvarez, all I can think about is similar dominant stretches from the last few years by Watson and Harden, of all people. More specifically, I think of Watson's scintillating rookie season, six starts cut short by an ACL injury, and Harden's 2018-2019 stretch of 32 straight games with 30 or more points per game.
THOSE were Yordan-ian type runs by two once great players . For Houston fans, which of these three stretches was the most fun? Let's do a quick breakdown of each one, with a"FUN SCORE" at the end of each one:First seven games of his NFL career Watson was NOT the Texans' opening week starting QB. That would be Tom Savage, who was pulled at halftime of the season opener, and didn't get his job back until Watson tore his ACL in practice on November 2.
