Manu's Number

[spur219]

When Manu was a rookie I know he wanted #6 but couldn't because of Avery Johnson. Then he was going to get #13. Why didn't he go for that one?

I think #13 was Malik's number. That is the only reason I can come with...anyway # 20 is one number less than # 21...Roberto Clemente's number, the best right fielder in baseball's history...and TD, the best Power Forward in bascketball today! Cool ah! :smokinI thought Malik was 31??

I think #13 was Malik's number.

Malik's number was #31.

James Silas was #13, it was retired.

There you go. Thanks Exile.

I think I read one time that Manu just preferred number 20....out of the ones that were offered to him by the Spurs. No real significance.

Damn that James Silas for not giving up his number . . .

I guess Manu really didn't deserve to wear #6. :rolleyes
