37
Newly minted Laker Ron Artest will wear number 37 this season as a tribute to Michael Jackson.  In an interview he stated,

"I was trying to figure out a number, I was talking to my wife and kids. I was on my twitter, MySpace, and Facebook and asking everybody to help me pick a number. On my MySpace, somebody named Trish T he Dish came up with the #37 and said that Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was 37 weeks at number one of all time. 23 I was going to choose, it was available, it's a great number but, I thought (with) that 37 and "Thriller", I can make that a new great number. I think more kids should start getting the #37 for a great human being, since Michael loved all people. I think I'm representing greatness in wearing #37."

Sounds like as good a reason as any.
Honestly?  It's kinda refreshing to have a guy who really doesn't give a damn about any one particular number...

WOW. Hm actually you should be a really big fan of Michael Jackson to know that Thriller was 37 weeks on first place.

As a Sac fan, I saw the good and bad with Artest. What surprised me most is that he actually gave credit to the fan that gave him the suggestion directly.
