1 Houston Rockets Tracy McGrady and his team

2 How they started The Rockets were founded in 1967 in San Diego, and after being bought by Robert Breitbard for 1.75 million dollars, they joined the NBA as an expansion team for the 1967-68 NBA season. The San Diego franchise was named the Rockets, due to the city calling itself "a city of motion ",and during their time in San Diego, the Rockets played in the San Diego Sports Arena. Jack McMahon was named the Rockets' coach, and the team's first draft pick, in 1967, was the future Hall of Fame coach Pat Riley. However, the Rockets went on to lose 67 games in their inaugural season, which was then an NBA record for losses in a season.

3 When they moved to Houston Because the Rockets did not have their own arena in Houston, they were playing their first two years at various venues in Houston, including the Astrodome, Astro Hall, and Hofheinz Pavilion. They also had to play "home" game in other cities such as San Antonio, Waco, Albuquerque, and even San Diego. During their first season, the Rockets averaged less than 5,000 fans per game, and in one game in Waco, there were only 759 fans in attendance.
