ShinyHubCaps Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Artest did change his number multiple times with the Pacers. After being #15 in Chicago, he wore #15 in 2002 (his half-season with the team), then #23 in 2003-04, then #91 in 2005.So if that's the reason, fine, but I wouldn't blame the NBA for restricting #69. It's like having a cuss word on a license plate -- it could come up, but they'd rather avoid it. Also a point of note is that no one has EVER worn the number 69 in the NBA from the records I have.

J23P Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 i dont know why rodman settled on 70 with the mavs.he was once #10 with the pistons and spurs. when he headed over to chicago he was 91 because bob love's #10 was retired and 9 + 1 = 10. when he was 73 with the lakers there were multiple reasons why he wore that. 7 + 3 = 10, 10 rebounding titles and he was 37 (the reverse of 73) at the time when he signed with LA. in ron ron's case, he wore 23 and 91 in honor of MJ and Rodzilla. i remember hearing that on tv during a pacer's game. i wonder why he chose 93 and now 96? oh, i and i see the swaz like everyone has commented on.

Carter23 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Patrick Ewing jr. will be wearing #6, not the rumored #33"I'm going to wear No. 6," said the 6-foot-8, 240-pound swing forward. "It was my dad's Olympic number, and Bill Russell's number, who was my favorite player."Ewing said he realizes fans were eager to know what number he would choose, but that No. 33 will always belong to his dad."My dad's jersey's hanging up there in the rafters for a reason," he said. "The only reason I wore 33 at Georgetown is because they don't retire numbers. I felt like I did 33 for him there, and now I can do six here and it's another way to honor him."http://www.nba.com/knicks/news/ewingjrnumbersix.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequently, he reversed the number to get '96'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are holding off on a rebranding until the Brooklyn stuff gets sorted out, but they desperately need one.
