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 assistant 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 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 18 players who wore the No. 2, guard alum Sedale Threatt. After ending his college career at West Virginia Tech, Threatt was picked up with the 139th overall selection (there were many more rounds in that era of the draft) of the 1983 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Atlanta, Georgia native played parts of the first four seasons of his pro career with the Sixers. He also played for the Chicago Bulls, Seattle SuperSonics, and Los Angeles Lakers before he signed with Houston for the final season of his career in 1997.
