You missed: Damian Lillard wears number 0 because it’s a symbol of the letter o, because he grew up in Oakland, Went to college in Ogden, and got drafted by the state of Oregon.
I love this kind of insights. Thanks NBA. Can you do a part 2 and part 3 if possible. I want more players! Lavine being scared of his muscular teammate cracked me up.
I love hearing stories about why athletes from any sport wear their numbers. So many people have such unique numbers or great stories. I wanna hear about more players
@@alo.5141 you’re right. And when the Magic drafted Shaquille O’Neal in 1992, they gave the jersey, but it had the number 33. Then they gave it up and made Shaq wear 32.
One the more special ones is omri casspi's 18. In Hebrew if you convert 18 to Hebrew letters you get ח"י, which means alive. In the Hebrew tradition this Number and this word have a very high importance, and used to wish health and longevity. For example when you give someone a check for their bar-mitzva/wedding/birthday it will be a multiplication of 18 (90/180/360) shekels for example
Even though nobody asked, I will give my own personal story with my number (if you actually read this thank you) I used to wear number 38 because that was my dad's number when he played football in high school, and because my favorite NFL player has always been Tramon Williams, who wore number 38 when he was with the Green Bay Packers. I ended up switching to number 19 because my ma was born in september and my dad was born in october, and 9+10=19. I also wear it because half of me (genetically) is from my dad, and 38/2=19.
Fun Fact: Rodman always had numbers that added up to 10. Until one season he wanted no.69, which was sadly declined by the NBA commissioner.
@@K_D_A He wore the no.10 jersey with the Pistons
Nice
Thank you so much! I was just about to ask whyever in the world Rodman wore numer 91 with the Bulls, such a strange number.

I mean…1 and 0 don’t add up to 10, but that one obviously makes sense
I love how Iverson is getting his recognition. A lot of NBA players really admire him!
yes for example Carmelo and Kawhi has/had braided hair because of him too. Goat of the NBA culture
@@ygt_nba_podcasts no doubt!
@@ygt_nba_podcasts his cornrows are the og fr
@@ygt_nba_podcasts I wonder if he’s why wade was number 3
I like Giannis story behind his number. I never knew that.
same my g, very interesting my g
you wanna go play some dous or somein
Look at Curry man so inspirational.
@@elizabeth-gt8rv
No
It’s great to hear the stories behind those numbers cuz most of the time there’s a reason behind numbers
@@thegoat4821 No. Mike thought his older brother was so good that he chose 23 because he wanted to be half as good as Larry who wore 45.
Like how Klay chose jersey no. 11 right?
Well no shit...
And others it is completely random.
@@maga4ever845 you and me could be really good buddies
You got to love chef Steph

"I wear 32 cause the way magic made his teammates better"
Jimmy tried making his teammates better and Kat hid from him lol
Thats not at all really what happened. Your going off media takes that are completely biased. Jimmy was a terrible teammate
I love the number 9 and would also love to hear about everyone who wore it.
MJ Dwyane Wade Luol Deng.. you know.. Chicago connection there.
@@K_D_A oh yes.. he did. Apologies 😅
Dan Majerle

"D-Wade was the player i watch when i growing up" damn i´m getting old

Look at curry man so inspiration

Shaq wore 33 in high school, college, and the Cavs because of Patrick Ewing.
He would've worn it in Orlando too, but Terry Catledge already had #33

Y'all should ask Aaron Gordon's #50 jersey.

Dunk contest
Because Dwade gave him a 9 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gary Payton should have a show/channel where he just tells stories and reacts to stuff. Guy is entertaining!
Should've asked Klay he got some crazy stories
@JezzyBeast lived on the 11th street in the 11th house. Something like that.

Should have interviewed Jordan why he wore LeBron's number.
It’s because draymond green wore it.
