Artest Jersey Number

[JB_kings]

Why is he crazy for choosing #15? Is there something that I'm missing?

 

[PacerinIraq]

Its 93 because his #'s used to be 91 and 23 so he combined them and made 93!

It's like I said earlier, a combination of two former numbers 91 and 23 - Rodman and Jordan.

^^Thanks.

Now if he can just play up to the meaning of his number.

The sun is 93 million miles from earth. FWIW.

United Flight 93 was the one that ended up crashing into the field after the passengers fought back against the terrorists.

Oh yeah, there is a A&E tv movie I believe today or monday on that....just a little unrelated FYI. I forgot, I need to remind my wife about it. Thanks for the "refresher" hehe

93 is a little high. why not number..8?

A member of another Kings site figured it out Wednesday pretty easily when he saw his Jersey on the Kings webstore.

Games missed last year 75 Games missed this year 18.

75 + 18 = 93.

93 also happens to be about the time in the "99 bottles of beer" song where I simply can't stand it anymore and I have turn around and scream at the other passengers to "Shut Up! Please, for the love of God, JUST...SHUT...UUUUUUPPPPPPP!!!!!!!"

I thought it was 73 last season?
And when I went to his game log I see 23 straight games where he didn't see action. I think 22 of those came after he said he'd welcome a trade.

As fun as this is, PacerinIraq is correct. He has warn both #91 and #23 as tributes to Rodman and Jordan. Also #23 is taken by K-Mart........So in Artest math 91 + 23 = 93

Except that it's not. It was 73 regular season games last year. I don't know how many it was this year, but 18 sounds about right.

Ron explained that #93 looks crazy if you stare at it long enough and represents infinite intensity, according to the Sac Bee page C5. Fifth time he has changed numbers in his career.

And he colored his white shoes with spraypaint and sharpies to match his teammates black shoes.

This guy should be a relief pitcher in the major leagues! I love it.

Um...Ronnie...dont you make like $6.8 million?? Errr...there HAD to be a Footlocker close by that you could have bought yourself a nice shiny NEW pair of black sneaks, eh?? Oh well, it was a nice gesture to show comraderie for your new team, I got your message in doing that.

 

[Warhawk]

He said he thought the team was wearing white shoes and when he got to the arena and saw they were black (immediately before the game), he did what he could to make them look the same.

 

[Les Jepsen Fan]

93 is a reference to the Soul of Mischief song "93 'til Infinity".

Ever played in brand new sneakers? Not something you want to do in your debut game I think.

Another year, another number I guess.

 

[SoupIsGood]

Isn't it Bill Simmons who says Ron's jersey number is the percentage of crazy that he is? 93%, that's up 2% from the year of the brawl.
