Lumbergh Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Along those lines, All-Star Amar'e Stoudemire changed his from #32 to #1 because, according to him, there was only "one" person believed he would make it back from injury—himself. Yeah, OK. Sounds like everyone else was right.I hated when he did that. That kinda started the 1 or 0 trend we keep seeing in the NBA. I used to have a 32 throwback Suns jersey and I loved it!

2001mark Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Do NASCAR drivers in different car numbers count?Yeah sure. I think it's dumb that NASCAR put #3 back into rotation. MLB isn't going to put #42 back in, NHL not going to put #99 back in... stick with it. There's not a lot of heritage untouchables an organization can embrace, why toss one out when it's working? @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcreteCharlie Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I hate the idea of retiring numbers. I think they should all be unretired across all sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodsep Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I agree about Kobe's switch, To me, when an established star player changes numbers after selling millions in merchandise...without changing teams...sounds like a selfish attempt to sell more jerseys to me. Kobe, selfish? Nahhhhhhhh...One of the theories on the switch, is that in his eternal quest to one-up his Airness he wanted to be one more than Jordan. Hence, Jordan was 23 on the NBA, Kobe switched to 24. Jordan had 6 rings, He wanted 7. Jordan wore 9 on the USA team, Kobe used 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
