A Bit of Houston Rockets History: On January 11, 1967, San Diego became the 12th member of the National Basketball Association. To select a name for their new NBA club, the basketball fans of San Diego were asked to choose a nickname for the team. Out of 10,000 entries, more than 1,000 different names were submitted. After careful deliberation, a group of leading citizens chose Rockets because it fit in with San Diego's theme of a "City in Motion"; while reflecting the outstanding growth of space-age industries in San Diego. After the 1970-71 season, the San Diego Rockets moved to Houston, Texas, and became the Houston Rockets. The Rockets name is still a valid name today because the NASA space program is located in Houston. (source: hoopedia.NBA.com)
