    I had no idea Scott Brooks was on the Rockets, furthermore, winning 2 titles with them. One more reason to love Oklahoma City when the Rockets aren't in the mix.

    78/157, this was pretty hard for me. Can someone do a 2000-2010 one? I would rape it.

    Pocket was on the first Rockets championship team as the ultimate cheerleader who had legit skills too. He was traded near the deadline of 1995 to the Mavericks. Rudy said it was to give him a chance to play, but when the local news (forgot which station) caught him that day, he was like crying and pissed and said he got stabbed in the back by the organization...or something like that.

    I got 123/157 although towards the end I was putting common last names and got a few.

    Notables I missed:
    Tracy Murray
    Scottie Pippen
    Kenny Thomas
    Mike Woodson
    Two Sandwiches Hamilton

    The rest I never heard of.

    I remembered the hard ones first

    Buck Johnson
    Dave Feitl
    Kennard Winchester
    Adrian Caldwell (i don't recall him being on the 94-95 team)
    John Turner
    Dave Jamerson
    Winston Garland
    Earl Cureton
    Charles Jones
    Elmer Bennett

    i got a brain fart in the 2 min warning and remembered the bad contract signings by CD

    Maloney, Chillcut, Chucky Brown, Cato, Anderson

    I was pissed I missed some easy ones

    Scott Brooks, Williams, Willis

    weird enough, the only year I named everybody was the 90-91 team, first full season I followed the Rockets

    96/157.

    Not my fault I was 5 years old when that decade started. I missed too many but here are some fun (and generally useless) ones I remembered:

    Eldridge Recasner
    Walt "The Wizard" Williams
    Charles "The Original Darko" Jones
    Antoine "Cyclops" Carr
    Brent "Rudy's Buttbuddy" Price
    Shandon "Inside Man" Anderson

    I did awful. Only 87. It should have been more as I obviously know Sam Mack but forgot about him in the heat of the moment (12 minute moment).

    Yeah, that's a good quiz too. That one's been posted on Sporcle for a while.

    That one actually inspired me to make this quiz about the 90s Rockets, since I have much more positive memories of those teams.

    I'm glad you guys enjoyed the quiz. I can make more if anybody has new ideas (although I don't think many people would do would do well in naming the 1970s or 1980s Rockets rosters ;) )
