The Houston Rockets are a professional basketball franchise in the NBA. They play all their home games at the Toyota Center in the heart of Houston, Texas. In their 50-plus seasons, they have won two NBA championships and have claimed four Western Conference titles. In the early years, they were established as the San Diego Rockets in 1967. After a four-year stint in San Diego, the Rockets relocated to Houston, and they have called Houston home ever since. Since then, they have established themselves as a legitimate sports franchise by claiming back-to-back (1994 and 1995) NBA championships. During those years, they were led by the dominance of Hakeem Olajuwon, who at that time was deemed to be the best center in the league. Since then, the Rockets have remained a relevant basketball franchise. Over the past few years, they have threatened to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals.
