    San Diego was granted an NBA franchise to be called the Rockets. The franchise moved to Houston for the 1971-72 season.

    Cool.

    McGrady is #1. Yao is #11. And the birth of the Rocket's franchise was 1-11. Coincidence? I think not :D

    Well, if anyone has been to a Rockets game this year, they do a little tid bit before the game with a Rockets 40 year anniversary logo on the scoreboard and then they show highlights from the San Diego years till now.

    It was meant to happen, just like a few more championships were meant to come.

    The Rocket was founded on January 11, 1967 in San Diego. It came to Houston in season 1971-1972. Happy birthday, Houston Rocket! You brought me so many exciting days and you will give us more! GOOO, ROCKETS! BRING US MORE AND MORE CHAMPIONS!!
