It's a numbers game
I need the Forum's help: which singlet number has the most great basketballers? I've come up with a few and it would be nice to get a few more for some hypothetical 5 on 5 matches.
It would also be worth noting for any juniors out there wanting to become guns: screw your favourite number, get ahead by picking a singlet number which all the great basketballers wear.
So far the strongest numbers I've come up with off the top of my head are:
#23 (good backcourt, but any bigs?)
Jordan
Lebron
Mitch Ritchmond
#32 (along with #33, possibly the strongest lineup at this stage)
Magic
Shaq (circa Orlando)
McHale
Karl Malone
#33
Bird
Pippen
Kareem
Ewing
#34
Shaq (circa LA and Heat)
Barkley
Olajuwon
More contributions welcome - I'm sure there's tonnes I've forgotten.
