You are all wrong he's going with something different but he still wants people to remember the other numbers he's worn. He's going with: The number formerly known as...
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.
Most likely 91, goes along with the whole Houston theme of 1, 11, 31, our old threesome. Now it is 1, 11, 91.
dude I thought Hieroglyphics, Del, all those Oakland rappers were new school. To me old school will be like Dough E Fresh, Slick Rick, KRS one, Rakim, those were old school.
I like it. He should wear any of these numbers, 93, 94, or 95 to pay homage to the Houston Rocket championship teams.
I think number 86 because of the implications and it's just plain "hard". Number 86 fits his style of play to perfection. I could see the number 69 cause it has it's own implications which non cool people wouldn't like and that would be desireable to Artest (not fitting in with the establishment or the narrow minded) I say 86 is perfect as he takes people down with hard fouls as they drive the paint. The trademark banging on the chest afterwards would immediately follow and give the number 86 a more formidable aura. THe thought of alphabetical figures is hilarious and I could see him requesting that LOL
Unfortunately, I seriously doubt he picks 69. He's expressed the desire to just come in and play ball without causing anymore drama. Not that 69 would neccessarily cause alot of drama, it's just more attention whoring antics, which he seems to be trying to shy away from.
tmac is #1 yao is #11 Artest is #111? i dont know if the nba would allow that but im sure it would be an nba first.
