Let's take a trip down memory lane and explore the rich history of Houston Rockets jersey numbers. Since the team's founding in the 1967-68 season, nearly 500 players have worn 52 different numbers (plus a special, non-numerical jersey for assistant coach and GM Carroll Dawson). Seven of those jerseys now hang in the rafters, retired in honor of all-time greats.

Today, we're kicking off a look at the 11 players who've worn No. 13, starting with guard Jeff Taylor. A product of Texas Tech, Taylor was selected 42nd overall by the Rockets in the 1982 NBA Draft. The Blytheville, Arkansas native spent just one season in Houston, his rookie campaign, before being cut in 1983.

During his brief stint, Taylor exclusively wore No. 13 and averaged 3.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. While his numbers may not jump off the page, every player in a Rockets jersey adds to the franchise's storied tapestry. For fans and collectors, these jersey histories offer a unique way to connect with the team's past—and maybe inspire your next throwback purchase.
