Why did Artest change his number so many times?

[GangstaBoogy]

[WestCoasta]

91 is a cool number but for him it's stupid... "haha I'll wear Dennis Rodman's 91, get it?"

96 is what he has now, not bad

Every number has a reason to.  15 was from high school and college.  23 was in tribute to Jordan.  91 was in tribute to rodman.  The other numbers I have no clue

At the start of the 2004-05 season, Artest changed his uniform number. In past seasons with Indiana, he had worn the number 23 in tribute to NBA legend Michael Jordan. For the 2004-05 season, he wore the number 91; a tribute to former multiple Defensive Player of the Year Award winner Dennis Rodman, another controversial basketball player from the late 1980s and 1990s. After being suspended for the remainder of the season due to his involvement in the Pacers-Pistons brawl, Artest reverted his number back to the original he wore for the majority of his basketball life, number 15, though he switched to number 93 after being traded to the Sacramento Kings. He wore number 93 with Sacramento because he said it represented the Queensbridge projects where he grew up, with the “9” representing the “Q” in Queens and the “3” representing the “B” in Bridge.[15] Also, the inspiration for Artest choosing 93 as his number was inspired by Souls of Mischief's 1993 album 93 'til Infinity.

I think ya'll missed the question. I know Artest is insane, but how as he allowed to change his number that many times? He was only with the Pacers for like 6 years, the NBA has a 3 season rule for players changing their number with the same team.
