NBA players grow attached to their numbers. Just look at the Houston Rockets' Jalen Green.

During his rookie year, he wore 0. Green didn't like that. He allegedly tried to get his cherished 4 from Danuel House Jr. As it turned out, House Jr. valued his number as well.

That duo are far from the only Rockets to don the number 4. It's got a storied history in Houston. Here's every Rocket to wear 4 in chronological order.

Greg Smith

It's difficult to find information about Smith. He doesn't just wear a popular number - he's got a fairly popular name as well. He's not the only Greg Smith to play in the National Basketball Association.

When it comes to (this) Smith and the Rockets, 4 seems to be a magic number. That's how many games Smith played for the Rockets. He suited up for them just 4 times in 1972-73. Smith averaged 2.5 points per game in 10.3 minutes per game for the Rockets.
