Leggoooo

[cjw]

Pulling a Kobe to push up his jersey sales!

[Captivus]

Pulling a Kobe to push up his jersey sales!

I thought Kobe change it so that people could choose between the good Kobe and rape Kobe jersey.

[DJR210]

Obviously to retire Michael Finley as a Spur.

[kobyz]

Ohh he was 4 until now, good to know!

[FireMicoHalili]

"news"

[spursparker9]

Taking Neal number?

Hedo too

[Dex]

You mean Rape Kobe and Quitter Kobe?

[Aztecfan03]

Ohh he was 4 until now, good to know!

Then at least people can get a one added if they already have his jersey. Would just be a little lopsided.

[TheGoldStandard]

He wore 14 in college and won a champ there, probably the reason.

[look_at_g_shred]

Kobe changed it because he said he wanted to be one better than Jordan :lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Wonder if Anderson will take 4 now that it will be available. I'm sure it has no relevance but it's closer to 5 than 1 is :lol

[timtonymanu]

Right after I got myself a Verde jersey. :lol

#4 forever. :cry

[Biggems]

wasn't Willie #14

[Biggems]

nevermind he was 40.....I don't know why I was thinking he was 14....I know Neal was, but other than that, I don't know any other 14 in Spurs history

[Big P]

nevermind he was 40.....I don't know why I was thinking he was 14....I know Neal was, but other than that, I don't know any other 14 in Spurs history

Beno Udrih, Hedo Turkoglu, Zarko Paspalj, Jamie Feick, and Mike D'Antoni.

[baseline bum]

nevermind he was 40.....I don't know why I was thinking he was 14....I know Neal was, but other than that, I don't know any other 14 in Spurs history

Fat fuck Hedo

[spurraider21]

Well Chinook has to get another one now

[TheyCallMePro]

I think it'll help him with his confidence because #14 was his college number for 4 years at UNC.

He had to put in this request 2 years in advance with the Spurs to get this change approved. That's commitment. It clearly means something to him.

[DAF86]

4 was better.

[Seventyniner]

There goes the 1/2/3/4/5 jersey number lineup. Anderson was never going to work at center anyway.

[Seventyniner]

He wore 14 in college and won a champ there, probably the reason.

He wore #4 in the NBA and won a champ there too tbh

[-21-]

nevermind he was 40.....I don't know why I was thinking he was 14....I know Neal was, but other than that, I don't know any other 14 in Spurs history

Beno Udrih and Hedo Turkoglu also wore #14 I believe.

[tholdren]

Im sure the toros then (insert shitty overseas team) will give Anderson whatever number he wants.

[hooperflash]

Leave it to Danny, answering my question before ST :lol


An amatuer source who usually reports Spurs news correctly has recently said that Danny Verde might change his number to be his beloved #14 (maybe it's been stated already and I overlooked it). What do you think he should do if this is true? Keep the number he has worn in both his finals or should he consider his 3 years settling for #4 over and snatch the number he feels is meant for him to wear?

Spurs Mailbag is our friend.


Question: Why do you wear the number 4?

DG: Because I couldn’t get the number fourteen, which was my number in college and high school growing up. It was a town number, there’s a history behind it. I didn’t get a chance to get it when I was here obviously, because it’s Gary Neal’s number. One day hopefully I can talk him into changing it, but it’s closest to four, twenty-four was taken.

Question: What’s the story behind 14?

DG: Growing up in the town, I used to play football, and the head football coach for my town, his brother used to wear fourteen and he had passed away. So the leading captain or the best leader would wear number fourteen, it used to be a quarterback or running back, in honor of his name. When I transferred schools I kinda took the number with me, I’ve kept it going since then.

[hooperflash]

Right after I got myself a Verde jersey. :lol

#4 forever. :cry

I met the dude preseason of 2011 and he said he'd change back to #14 when he had the chance, saved me some dough! :lol Now we gotta wait for Bonner to retire, does Kawhi take back #15, I think not.

[BatManu20]

#4 looks better imo but he's been rocking #14 since high school and his UNC days so I get it. I don't care what # he wears as long as it doesn't affect his play tbh.

That is unless it somehow improves it , then watch out NBA.

[ElNono]

he can have whatever number he wants, tbh

[Chinook]

Well Chinook has to get another one now

Magic marker, tbh.

[Captivus]

You mean Rape Kobe and Quitter Kobe?

Theres no good Kobe jersey!?

[urunobili]

4 was better.

[Strange Love]

Ohh he was 4 until now, good to know!

:lol

Gotta say, I didn't pay attention to whatever his number was before either. Or I should say, never cared.

[Shabazz]

He wore 14 in college and won a champ there, probably the reason.


college and high school

[Drom John]

1977 Mike D'Antoni
1990 Zargo Paspalj
1997 Jamie Feick
2004 Hedo Turkoglu
2005-2007 Beno Udrih
2011-2013 Gary Neal
2014- Danny Green

[Obstructed_View]

Wonder if KA is wanting 4.

[G-Dawgg]

Lol, he wants to be Gary Neal soooo badly that he's going to adopt Neal's old number.... Why would he change numbers after all his success with number 4? He's going to jinx it all by changing numbers. -Remember what happened to Michael Jordan when he briefly switched to #45?

I think he should stay with #4. That's how I know him as a Spur. He's made his reputation on the Spurs, played in 2 finals, won his championship and broke a finals record for 3 pointers wearing #4...
-just my opinion

[pookenstein]

Theres no good Kobe jersey!?

Early 2000's jersey, tbh.

[Holden_Caulfield]

kawhi better not change his number, im about to order his jersey :lol

[mystargtr34]

Does anyone know where i can get a 'Swingman' Kawhi jersey in the silver alternate.. the nbastore doesn't have any. I don't want to spend 250 bucks on the authentic :lol although i might have to.

[PingPong]

I hope changing numbers can't be worse than changing names.

[lefty]

14 is bad news for us

[Jimcs50]

#4 looks better imo but he's been rocking #14 since high school and his UNC days so I get it. I don't care what # he wears as long as it doesn't affect his play tbh.



I think he wants to change it because he feels that he wants to leave some single digit numbers for future players to have. AJ has 6, Leonard will have 2 retired, Parker will have 9 retired, so his 14 will be just fine. Only Silas has a teen number that is and will be retired any time soon.

[Mayhem321]

I met the dude preseason of 2011 and he said he'd change back to #14 when he had the chance, saved me some dough! :lol Now we gotta wait for Bonner to retire, does Kawhi take back #15, I think not.
Are you implying that the Red Mamba's jersey won't be retired???

[Gervin44Silas13]

stupid

[hooperflash]

Sadly yes, most underappreciated white baller ever.

Not sure Danny is getting his number retired, even if he's already a better player than Avery ever was.

Yeah, that club's going to get real crowded, real fast.

Wonder if KA is wanting 4.

He better not. I was ready to dust off my Derek Anderson jersey.

[Bill_Brasky]

Are people really butthurt over this? As if what number hes wearing will affect his play?

[Obstructed_View]

He better not. I was ready to dust off my Derek Anderson jersey.

lol I thought of that. There are probably a few Spurs fans who regretted purchasing his jersey but could never bring themselves to throw it away.

[Obstructed_View]

Are people really butthurt over this? As if what number hes wearing will affect his play?

Could be. Could also be a Spurs message board in the offseason and people just want something to discuss.

Danny Green enjoying some fame in Brazil, in a pack with the Cavs Cheerleaders, the Hawks mascot.
