Houston Rockets jersey history No. 25 – Bernard Thompson (1988-89)

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 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 fourth of 14 who wore the No. 25, wing Bernard Thompson. After ending his college career at Fresno State, Thompson was picked up with the 19th overall selection of the 1984 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Phoenix, Arizona native played the first season of his pro career with Portland. He also played for the Phoenix Suns before he was dealt to the Houston Rockets for the final season of his career in 1988 by way of the Charlotte Hornets expansion draft.

During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Thompson wore only jersey No. 25 and put up 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.
