you win.
It was #12.
It was just a red bulls jersey with 12 on the back...there was no Jordan on the back of the Jersey.
I think it was on Valentines day and it was in 1990 in Orlando

Yea I've seen footage of it too I think.

What numbers has Ron Artest worn as a pro??

This should be easy, but echoing my last question about the Lakers:

Name the 5 members of the 86 champion Celtics who are or have been NBA head coaches.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

McHale
Bird
Johnson
Ainge ?????????

 

[CanadianSteve]

4 right. One more, a lesser player but likely the best coach of the group.

rick carlisle...a good coach.
He built up the pistons and made them what they are today to an extent.
I liken him to Doug Collins and what he did with the Bulls from 1986-1989. He built the team up, wasnt going to take them all the way and was replaced by a coach who could.

 

[CanadianSteve]

Carlisle is correct. We'll see how far he can take the Pacers in the next few years. I don't think it'll happen this year after losing Artest for the season.

what number did karl malone wear in the 1989 all star game

 

[CanadianSteve]

I admit I tried to google it and no luck. I found he was MVP of the game, but no number. But I'll guess #7, in honour of former Jazz star Pistol Pete Maravich. That rings a bell to me, but I'm not sure.

 

[Mr Saab]

i first became aware of this when i played that OLD pc game "lakers vs celtics"...it has the all star lineups on 89 and karl malone is not wearing his 32. Then i saw vision of the game and the computer game was in fact correct.
Magic had 32 so KArl had to use another number.
It is not 7.
Could be a tough one!!

 

[Mr Saab]

i will give you a cryptic clue

Mark Eaton - Michael Jordan -Joe Dumars ;-)

 

[edabomb]

26???

 

[Mr Saab]

[edabomb]

53 - 23 - 4 = 26. Nice clue.
