Rockets guard Gerald Green went old school on Thursday night, in sporting the long-gone Houston Oilers' derrick on his head for Game 5 vs. Golden State at Toyota Center.

"Everybody knows how much Houston loved the old Oilers," Green said prior to the showdown in the series knotted at two wins each.

A reporter asked Green, 32, if he was old enough to really even remember the Oilers, who last played in Houston in 1996.
