    A question that has been asked through many threads, but only a warier will dare poll.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Artest

    At the start of the 2004-05 season, Artest changed his uniform number. In past seasons with Indiana, he had worn the number 23 in tribute to NBA legend Michael Jordan. For the 2004-05 season he wore the number 91; a tribute to former multiple Defensive Player of the Year award winner Dennis Rodman, another controversial basketball player from the late 1980s and the 1990s. After being suspended for the remainder of the season due to his involvement in the Pacers-Pistons brawl, Artest reverted his number back to the original he wore for the majority of his basketball life, number 15, though he switched to number 93 after being traded to the Sacramento Kings. He wears the number 93 with Sacramento because he says it represents the Queensbridge projects where he grew up, with the “9” representing the “Q” in Queens and the “3” representing the “B” in Bridge.[13] Also, the inspiration for Artest choosing 93 as his number was inspired by Souls of Mischief's 1993 album 93 'til Infinity.[14]

    I don't think you will be able to guess.. he's had a different # every team he goes too and they are all weird. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 69^3

    He should wear 94 or 95 so he can channel our championship teams from those years.

    I just hope the Rockets get new uniforms at some point. I think the shoulder cuts are whack. I like wide shoulder cuts but the ones on the Rockets uniforms are weird. I'm not sure if it has to do with the material or the design but they don't look like the typical wide cuts. They hang over a lot of players shoulders and the edges curl up for some reason. I'd lose the double red stripes on the white jerseys, too.

    If we want to do the wide shoulders thing, this looks a lot better:
