I know I would totally do this if I were a player.
I have no idea, but I always thought that's why Larry Johnson took #15 for the '94 USA Team.


If my last name is James and I end up on Miami, better believe I'm asking for #6, if my last name is Howard and I'm in Houston or Orlando, I'm asking for #12. Especially if I'm a Scalabrine type end of the bench player or a young guy like Jordan Mickey trying to break into the league. Can't believe Bill/Henry Walker didn't grab #8 while he was here in '09, it was available too! I do give PJ Brown a pass in '08 though, because when you're just an OG 15 year vet just looking for a ring, people wearing your jersey in the stands probably couldn't be any less insignificant to you. But for a young player trying to break into the league, you got to grab it.
