    lol. Hey, it's something that isn't Carmelo. I kind of wish people would do more dumb Rockets-relevant games during the off-season.

    Maybe I should've included Carmelo as an answer choice for every question, though.

    I know #4 is Mobley, I remember one season when they played a ridiculous amount of overtime games and with two thirds of the season done he was averaging like 49 mpg or something

    3) C - Winchester
    4) D - Malone
    5) B - Barry

    Alright, here are the answers (per Basketball-Reference). These are going to make you roll your eyes. But I'll give partial credit for close guesses.
    1. Who is the Rockets all-time leader in Offensive Rating, at 123.0?
    A. Rodney McCray
    B. Scott Brooks (Brooks is actually the 2nd closest answer)
    C. Carl Landry
    D. Aaron Brooks
    E. James Harden (#3 closest answer)

    2. Who is the Rockets all-time leader in defensive rating, at 96.3?
    A. Dikembe Mutombo (#2 closest answer, and most reasonable one.)
    B. Yao Ming (#3 closest, but Yao is actually #6 behind Aziz, Mutombo, Dream, Cliff Meely, and Ron Riley. lol)
    C. Adrian Caldwell
    D. Kelvin Cato
    E. Zaid Abdul-Aziz (I don't even know who this is)

    3. Who is the Rockets all-time leader in Turnover Pct (lowest) at 7.4?
    A. Courtney Lee (he is actually the #8 ranked in turnover pct)
    B. Patrick Patterson (#2 closest answer)
    C. Kennard Winchester (he is actually the #10 ranked in turnover pct)
    D. Ryan Bowen
    E. Matt Bullard (#3 closest answer)

    4. Who is the Rockets all-time leader in Minutes-Per-Game at 39.5?
    A. Jim Jackson (talk about anomalies. 39.5 mpg)
    B. Steve Francis (#2 best answer, 39.1)
    C. Moses Malone (#3 best answer, 38.3)
    D. Cuttino Mobley (#4 best answer (tied with Harden at 37.5))
    E. Hakeem Olajuwon (he is actually #8 behind McGrady and Drexler at 36.4)

    5. Who is the Rockets all-time leader in 3-point % at .436?
    A. Metta World Peace (he is actually #9, HA)
    B. Jon Barry
    C. Kenny Smith (#2 closest answer)
    D. Ryan Anderson (he is actually #7)
    E. Luther Head (he is actually number 10)
    Since THREE people actually got 100% percent correct, I'm thinking 3 people have no self control. ;)

    Alright well if anyone cares whatsoever, I'll keep randomly posting a new trivia question every 24 hours.
