    I'm 23 born and raised in houston. Been a fan as long as I can remember. Fortunatley the first season that I have vivid memories of was the 93-94 season. I still remember that 15 game win streak. I had a bad feeling about that 16th game. Damn the Atlanta Hawks!!

    Almost 40 (next 24 march), from Italy, living in Torre del Lago, home of Giacomo Puccini, a small town with sea on one side and a lake on the other.

    Rockets fan since 80' and you cannot even imagine how difficult was to follow NBA games here in Italy. Thanks God we have internet and streaming websites...

    Born in Nacogdoches, TX, but lived in SW Houston when I was younger. Love the city and fell in love with the Rockets during the first championship run. Been obsessed since.

    As long as I can remember. Born in 1976 in Houston.

    I still remember lugging my 13" B&W tv to school in 1986 because my teacher said we could watch one of the NBA Finals games that started close to the end of the day.

    It's a complicated story but I can say that I picked Rockets a bit of T-Mac and a bit of Olajuwan .

    I watched whatever I could...the games they televised locally (lakers/clippers against hou) and whatever was on nationally. I would go to my neighbors house who had cable to watch the games they had on cable.

    i would follow them daily in the newspaper until i came across clutchcity.net 10 years ago or so when i started googling whatever i could for the rockets. i tried creating my own rockets webpage on geocities when i was in high school. edit: i just googled and the site is still up! haha i havent updated it in 10 years i just made it after school because i was bored and my ride didnt pick me up until later man haha.

    it wasnt until 2 seasons ago when i was out of school working and all i was able to have the disposable income to get league pass and fly out to houston for a few games.

    From Brownsville Texas. Been a rocket fan since 1979, Del Harris testified on my behalf in houston against the UIL for a basketball court case about attending basketball camps and not playing on the varsity that same season. He was extremely nice to me and I became a devout rocket fan ever since.

    Yes....I was 8 years old, and I can remember listening to them on my clock radio and charting the scores.....that is the earliest I can remember.
