It's So Random: The NBA's Most Memorable Jersey Number Changes of All Time

Found July 15, 2009 on Bleacher Report:
96619516
Recently, Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady announced he will swap his No. 1 jersey number to No. 3. That got me thinking about jersey number changes that have taken place in the NBA through the years. Ron Artest, the master of bizarre number switching, will wear No. 37 next season for his new team, the Los Angeles Lakers. The former Defensive Player of the Year chose to don such an odd number to pay tribute to Michael Jackson's popular "Thriller" album which topped the music charts for an impressive 37 consecutive weeks. Let's take a look at a few other number changes in NBA history.
