    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]

    Didn't Rodman want to wear 69 with the Bulls and got rejected?

    I don't kow if that's Ron's style, though. Both are eccentric, but Rodman is quite a bit more on the kinky side.

    Poor 69. It's such a great number, yet it gets such a bad rap. Kinda like Ron. So that's my vote.

    he said he's going to use something he's pretty certain no one else is using. 69, of course.

    Id its a number no one in the league, has, I have no idea.

    If it's a number no one on the Rockets has, I'm going with #24, not to honor Kobe, but because on the Carmichael Dave show he said that he has 24 nieces and nephews (though that number will constantly be changing), that's my guess.

    Good thread though, I was gonna make the same one actually.
