Question: What season did the Houston Rockets pick up the basketball player born in 1989?
Context: James Edward Harden Jr. (born August 26, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  Harden played college basketball for Arizona State, where he was named a consensus All-American and Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2009.  Harden was selected with the third overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder.  In 2012, he was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year with the Thunder and helped the team reach the NBA Finals. The 2007–08 Houston Rockets season was their 41st season in the National Basketball Association and 37th in Houston.  The Rockets won at least 50 games for the second straight season and made the playoffs also on the back of a 22-game winning streak, the fourth longest in the history of the NBA.  The Houston Rockets came into the 2007–2008 playoffs without Yao Ming, who was still injured.  This injury contributed to the Rockets' elimination by the Utah Jazz in the first round (2–4).  The team brought back Steve Francis, but his return was short-lived as he was active for only 10 games, starting 3 of them.  It would likely be his last season in the NBA. The 2012–13 Houston Rockets season was the 46th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 42nd based in Houston.  The season is best remembered for acquiring All-Star and Sixth Man of the Year James Harden from the Oklahoma City Thunder in a trade.  Along with Harden, the team brought in point guard Jeremy Lin after a magical season with the New York Knicks last year and center Omer Asik. Michael Andrew D'Antoni (born May 8, 1951) is an American-Italian professional basketball coach who was formerly a professional basketball player.  He is currently the head coach of the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  While head coach of the NBA's Phoenix Suns, he won NBA Coach of the Year honors for the 2004–05 NBA season after the Suns posted 33 more wins than the previous season.  He coached the New York Knicks starting in 2008 before resigning in 2012.  He was hired by the Lakers after seven games into the 2012–13 season.  D'Antoni, who holds American and Italian dual citizenship, is known for favoring a fast-paced, offense-oriented system.  On June 1, 2016, D'Antoni was named as the new head coach for the Houston Rockets. The 1998–99 NBA season was the Grizzlies' fourth season in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Grizzlies signed free agent Cherokee Parks.  After playing in 19 games, Sam Mack was traded back to the Houston Rockets midway through the season.  In a lockout shortened season cut to 50 games, top draft pick Mike Bibby had a solid rookie season averaging 13.2 points and 6.5 assists per game, as he was named to the All-Rookie First Team.  In addition, Shareef Abdur-Rahim continued to improve posting a career high of 23.0 points per game.  However, a knee injury limited Bryant Reeves to just 25 games as the Grizzlies struggled again, posting a 13-game losing streak after a 4–6 start to the season.  The Grizzlies lost their final seven games, returning to last place in the Midwest Division with a league worst record of 8–42.  Following the season, Tony Massenburg was traded to the Houston Rockets. Eric Riley (born June 2, 1970) is a retired American professional basketball player who was selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round (33rd pick overall) of the 1993 NBA draft.  Riley played for the Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics in five NBA seasons, averaging 3.1 points per game.  He was an injured reserve member of the 1993–94 Houston Rockets who won the NBA championship. Kenneth "Kenny" Smith (born March 8, 1965) is an American retired professional basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  He played in the NBA from 1987 to 1997 as a member of the Sacramento Kings, Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, and Denver Nuggets.  Nicknamed "The Jet", Smith was an All-American at the University of North Carolina and a two-time NBA Champion with the Houston Rockets.  Smith is currently a basketball analyst, and has won several Emmys for his work on "Inside the NBA" on TNT.  He also works as an analyst for CBS/Turner during the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. The 2013 NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game that was played on February 17, 2013 at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, the current home of the Houston Rockets.  This game was the 62nd edition of the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game and was played during the 2012–13 NBA season.  The Houston Rockets were awarded the All-Star Game in an announcement by commissioner David Stern on February 8, 2012.  This was the third time that Houston had hosted the All-Star Game; the city had previously hosted the event in 1989 at the Astrodome and 2006 at the Toyota Center.  The West won the game 143–138, and Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers was named the game's most valuable player (MVP). The 1971 NBA draft was the 25th annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The draft was held on March 29 and 30, 1971 before the 1971–72 season.  In this draft, 17 NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players.  A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection.  If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated.  The first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each conference, with the order determined by a coin flip.  The Cleveland Cavaliers won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the Portland Trail Blazers were awarded the second pick.  The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.  Prior to the start of the season, the San Diego Rockets and the San Francisco Warriors relocated to Houston, Texas, and Oakland, California, and became the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors respectively.  The draft consisted of 19 rounds comprising the selection of 237 players.  The league also hosted a supplemental hardship draft on September 20, 1971, for college underclassmen who wish to join the league. The Houston Rockets are an American professional basketball team based in Houston, Texas.  The team plays in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference in National Basketball Association (NBA).  The team was established in 1967, and played in San Diego, California for four years before being moved to Houston.  In the Rockets debut season, they won only 15 games.  However, after drafting Elvin Hayes first overall in the 1969 NBA Draft, they made their first appearance in the playoffs in 1969.  After Hayes was traded, Moses Malone was acquired to replace him.  Malone won two MVPs during his time in Houston, and he led the Rockets to the conference finals in his first year with the team.  He also took the Rockets to the NBA Finals in 1981, but they were defeated in six games by the Boston Celtics.  In 1984, the Rockets drafted Hakeem Olajuwon, who led them to the 1986 Finals in his second year, where they lost again to Boston.  In the next seven seasons, they lost in the first round of the playoffs five times.  They won their first NBA championship in 1994, led by Olajuwon, who won Finals MVP.  They repeated as champions the next year, and Olajuwon won Finals MVP once again.  To date, the Rockets have not advanced to the finals again.  The Rockets missed the playoffs from 1999–2003, and did not make the playoffs again until after they drafted Yao Ming in 2002.  Since then, the Rockets have had a winning season in all but two of the next 14 seasons and, led by James Harden, advanced to the conference finals in 2015.
