    One of my favourite quotes by an NBA player.</div>

    Oh I already knew why, I wanted to see if anyone knew without looking it up. [​IMG]

    Mostly was based on how dark Malik's skin color was. No lie.

    Jalen Rose ( 5 ) .. he chose this number because his idol was Magic Jhonson .. who wore 32, and he added 2+3 to get 5 !

    Not only that it was also because he was the last person to join the Fab Five (i think, it might just be because he was in the Fab Five)

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TMac_OwNz:</div><div class="quote_post">lol this season brang Lue , Howard , Bogans , Williams , Pachulia and a few more ALL NEW this season..plus gooden and giricek playing only half the season last year...sometimes chemistry just clicks and is great but sometimes it takes a while..19 games for example..plus more than half of the 19 games losing streak were lost by less than 7 points...(not finishing games) lack of chemistry...</div>

    Funny how before the playoffs everyone was talking about how good Gooden and Giricek were playing for them and how happy they were with them, to now people saying there isn't chemistry and stuff. I remember last year all I heard about Gordon was how great he had been playing for the Magic, now all the fans do is bash on him saying hes so bad this year. The Magic have enough talent to alteast get the 8th spot in the east, theres no excuse for playing as bad as they have been.

    I know the rules said only one player, but these guys go together: Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler picked 2 and 3, respectively, because someone else who played for the Bulls wore both of those numbers together.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting L.Sooch:</div><div class="quote_post">I hear that Darius Miles wore #21 till he got traded cuz he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his idol KG. Now he got traded and has to wear #23 cuz #21 is taken by ruben patterson.</div>

    oh yeah, he was a "baby kg" coming into the L, while I know da kob-stopper got his #21 already, why did he choose #23? Is it MJ? Very curious [​IMG]

    Larry Johnson & Stacey Augmon wore #2 cause it was Jerry Tarkanian's number when he played.

    Dennis Rodman wore #91 in Chicago because his normal number was 10, which the Bulls had recently retired in honor of Bob Love, their former all-time leading scorer. So Dennis did some mental math, and 9 + 1 = ....
