About Houston Rockets

After failing to win much fan support in four seasons in San Diego, the club relocated to Houston for the 1971-72 season. In a city that traditionally supported football, the Houston Rockets gained fans slowly, averaging only 4,966 fans per game in their inaugural season in Houston. But the Rockets reached the playoffs in 1975, led by guard Calvin Murphy and forward Rudy Tomjanovich. Early in 1976 Houston acquired Moses Malone, who was the first basketball player to advance directly from high school to professional play. With Malone, Murphy, and Tomjanovich, the Rockets won the Central Division in 1977 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Malone won the most valuable player (MVP) award in 1979 and placed first in rebounding and second in scoring during the 1980-81 season. Despite a 40-42 record, the Houston Rockets qualified for the playoffs by one game in 1981. Guided by head coach Del Harris, the team won the first three playoff series but was defeated in the championship round by the Houston Rockets.

The Houston Rockets traded Malone in 1983, and poor finishes in the next two seasons gave the franchise top picks in the NBA draft. Houston selected 7-ft 4-in (2.2-m) Ralph Sampson in 1983 and 7-ft (2.1-m) Hakeem Olajuwon in 1984. In the 1985-86 season the two centers?nicknamed the Twin Towers?led the Rockets to the Midwest Division title and upset the defending NBA-champion Los Angeles Lakers in the conference finals. Houston was again defeated in the NBA Finals by the Houston Rockets.

The Houston Rockets reached the NBA Finals in 1981 and 1986 but lost both times. Led by center Hakeem Olajuwon, the team won its first NBA title in 1994, becoming the first professional team from Houston to win a major sports championship. With the addition of veteran guard Clyde Drexler, the Rockets won a second NBA championship in 1995. In addition to Olajuwon, several other top centers have played for the franchise, including Elvin Hayes, Moses Malone, and Ralph Sampson.

The new millennium has brought life blood to the center position in Houston from halfway around the world. 7?6? Yao Ming of China finished his second year in a Rockets uniform, making the paint a tough place to play for all Rocket opponents. Steve Francis is another franchise player the Rockets will be looking to hold onto for years to come. New Coach Jeff Van Gundy has many decisions to make for 2005 as the 2004 lineup made the playoffs but were eliminated in 5 games by the Los Angeles Lakers.
