  "summary": "The Houston Rockets have a long and storied history with jersey numbers, having worn a total of 52 different numbers since their inception in the 1967-68 season. In a recent article, Yahoo Sports covered the history of No. 25, worn by wing Bernard Thompson during the 1988-89 season. Thompson, who was selected 19th overall in the 1984 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, played for the team for just one season before moving on to the Phoenix Suns. In his time with the Rockets, Thompson averaged 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. The article, part of a series covering all jersey numbers and players who wore them, highlights a piece of Rockets history that spans over five decades and multiple eras of the franchise.",
