Your Basketball # and Why

[Stevesie60]

If I played basketball I'd be #25. I'm kind of OCD about the number 5, so squaring it to get my number seems appropriate. Also, I can't think of too many famous basketball players who have worn this number, and I like to be unique.

[kso_FAN]

I was #23. I wanted to be like Mike, but I wasn't even close.

That's in illegal number. You can't wear it unless you are in the NBA and are willing to get fined.

You can only choose one number.

I'm taking #1, by the way.

I lost 23 when they made new Jerseys in HS and ended up with #3 my last two years. So I guess I'll go with that.

Yeah, I knew it had to be mid-to-late 80's, given your age, but looking at the hairstyle and given how the photo was grainy and black and white, I was assuming it was shot in the 70's. Maybe the 80's just weren't as advanced as I remember them being.

I think our school was too poor for color photos in the yearbook.

4.  Growing up they gave jerseys out by size of the player.  Lower numbers were smaller sizes and vice-versa. Since I was just a little tyke, I got #4 and it has been my number ever since.
