The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston ******* istant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the sixth of 14 who wore the No. 25, forward Robert Horry. After ending his college career at Alabama, Horry was picked up with the 11th overall selection of the 1992 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets.
The Andalusia, Alabama native played the first 4 seasons of his pro career with Houston, coming to an end when he was traded to the Phoenix Suns in 1996.

LeBron James' newest goal could help him make NBA history with the Philadelphia 76ers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Across the 23 years he has played in the NBA, LeBron James has set and shattered plenty of historical records. He has earned accolades for being the youngest to do so and the oldest to do so. It is a tremendous testament to his impressive longevity and unmatched talent.
Now that he is entering his 24th season, James has taken on a new challenge, and that is playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. This is a huge test for James because his intention is to win a championship with Philly, a team that has not won the championship since 1983, a year before he was even born.
As one of the league's greatest-ever players, LeBron is a phenomenon. He always finds ways to make a winning impact for his team, which he has done for every team he has played for. He had two championships with the Miami Heat, one with his Cleveland Cavaliers, and one with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Only four players in NBA history have won championships with NBA teams, which are Robert Horry, John Salley, LeBron, and his former teammate, Danny Green. With this move to Philly, James is ready to make history yet again.

Desiigner finds himself in legal trouble again, with his second domestic violence arrest this year.
The "Panda" rapper, 29, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon (July 15), per online records from the Horry County (SC) Sheriff's Office. He is still locked up as of this writing.
WBTW reports that the rapper was allegedly chasing a woman with a hammer. The woman told investigators that the two were arguing about removing TVs from a wall, when the rapper grabbed her phone and destroyed it with a hammer. The woman managed, with her child in tow, to escape to a neighbor's house, but not before, she said, the rapper threw her down and tossed her purse over a fence.
After that, the rapper allegedly vandalized that neighbor's vehicles, using a screwdriver and a hammer.
