    to promote mental health awareness.

    Also changing numbers. Going back to #15.
    15(Dad wore 51 in HS so he switched it)(St. Johns, Chicago, Indiana)
    23(For MJ)
    91(for Rodman)
    93(9 is a Q, 3 is uppercase B)
    96(9 is a Q, 6 is lowercase B)
    37(# of weeks MJ's "Thriller" was #1)
    Again, going back to #15 for uknown reason at this time.

    New Lakers getting new #s including Steve Blake #5, Matt Barnes #9, Derrick Character #45, Devin Ebanks #3, Theo Ratliff #50

    I bet he puts it on at least once, we will see when they get it if he does.

    I'm actually surprised you dislike him so intensely. I thought he was pretty cool here in Houston.

    I dont hate him, but i think he can do something like this one day and still do something completely screwed upt he next...overall he's a good guy, but even good guys can do crazy things that turn out bad.

    This is awesome. And, as a mental health professional, let me just say that there are many of us who are looking for more work in the community.

    Major props to Ron Artest. Off the court is probably one of the best players you can have on your team.

    As a side note LOL at the mass number of Jersey changes. I guess the Lakers org need more $$$ to pay the luxury tax.

    This is an impressive move. It's obvious that Ron suffers from mental issues. The fact that he's confronting them and then trying to get other people to confront theirs too is really impressive. He's a knucklehead, but the fact that he's making this his issue is very meaningful.

    Ron has always had a good heart, it's just he's a little insane sometimes.

    Not to belittle his gesture, and I think it is a great thing he is doing, but aren't they allowed to get more than one ring? Everyone in the organization gets a ring. the quality is different depending on your position. The players and owner and big wigs get the one with all the jewels, but I think they can buy extra one's if they want. Still a great gesture, and it should not come to a surprise to any place where Ron's played.
