The Rockets began their journey in the NBA as the San Diego Rockets in 1967. The team plays in the Southwest division and is placed in the Western Conference. The Rockets did not have a promising start in the NBA and managed to win only 15 games in their first season.

Keeping the Faith

However, the team management had faith in their franchise and it began to pay off when in 1969 the Rockets acquired Elvin Hayes as first overall draft pick. The young player repaid the faith shown in him and powered the franchise to the playoffs for the first time. The next half decade was a period of settling in as the team did not post a winning season till 1976.

Striking Gold Again

Once again the management was able to land a major NBA star when they signed Moses Malone. The future Hall of Famer won the MVP twice with the Rockets and in the process, led the team to Conference finals and the NBA finals in 1981. The loss to the Celtics in the 1981 finals was a devastating blow for both the fans and the players.

Piling on More Misery

As if to test the faith of the fans, the Rockets of 1986 again lost a closely fought championship to the Celtics. In spite of having the tallest two forward players in the form of Hakeem ‘The Dream’ Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson in their starting lineup, the Rockets came up short for the second time.

Third Time’s the Charm

However, the team and players never gave up and almost after a decade of longing, the Rockets, led by Hakeem Olajuwon triumphed over the Knicks in 1995. Proving that their victory was no fluke, the Rockets won the championship the next year over Orlando Magic.
