Houston Rockets
 PROFILE
The Houston Rockets first took to the court in 1967 but never really got off the launching pad as the then-San Diego Rockets, despite the best efforts of center Elvin Hayes. The team moved to Houston after only four years. It wasn't until 1976, when the Rockets picked up center Moses Malone (who bypassed college to play pro ball), that the team became a force in the NBA. Under the leadership of head coach and former Rocket Rudy Tomjanovich, the team won repeat championships in 1994 and 1995. Star players have included such NBA greats as center Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon and forward Charles Barkley, whose career ended with an injury in 1999. Former Wall Street securities trader Leslie Alexander owns the team.
