Which jersey numbers are scared in your mind? Numbers that the player wearing it must reach a level of performance to deserve it? There are so many that are obvious. To me the numbers 54 and 94 are two of those numbers. I grew up watching Randy White. I wore that number in school. I had great hopes for Bruce Carter, and still have hope for Williams. Jalen Smith was another. Flashed that expected brilliance for a year or so, then fell flat.
What can I say about 94 other than Haley and Ware? How do you live up to them? Again, had great hopes for Gregory. All the abilities are there…
Now, I am all for Parsons wearing 11, but damn I wish he would have picked one of these numbers to carry on excellence. Yeah, I am a tad old school regarding numbers, but that’s just me.
