    Read an interesting tidbit today about the reason why Splitter wore #21 in Europe. Don't know if this was talked about before but it was the first time I ever heard this.

    "Splitter, the 28th overall pick in 2007, idolized Duncan growing up. He said he wasn't ready to play in the NBA until now.

    Splitter - who wore No. 21 in Europe because of Duncan - characterized his game as running the floor quickly for a player of his size. He also said he likes to play the pick-and-roll offense run by the Spurs."

    Yeah in the press conference they said 21 wasn't an option but he was coming to the team with his idol so he had absolutely no qualms about changing his number to 22.

    22?

    Maybe Splitter also idolized Emmitt Smith growing up?
