Seriously. That's it. There's only been 41 players or something close to that that have worn this number. Korver is the best of the bunch.

I see now why Korver chose #26. Now he can be the best in some facet.

I'm sad I dropped him in fantasy at the beginning of the year. Jamel's rise wouldn't have happened without him, I don't think.

Should probably just move on. Three votes is plenty.

**Basel** · 02-09-2013, 10:35 AM

#27 might be even worse.

I picked him and Larry Sanders off the free agent list and those have been two of my top 6 players.

Shrewd free agent signings is what lead to my rise, because outside of Sessions and Deng I sucked in the draft.

My vote here goes to Hollywood Robinson.

numbers in which a ref cant use two hands for foul calls are going to have very few good players, may as well skip right to #'s 30-35

**Basel** · 02-09-2013, 12:01 PM

27, 28 and 29 are laughable as to how bad they are. Very interesting that nobody wears those numbers. Less than 30 players in NBA history have worn 28 and 29.

I still wanna know how Tracy McGrady beat Derek Rose for best player to wear #1?

**BlakeJesus** · 02-09-2013, 03:25 PM

Can I vote for nobody?

**Jace** · 02-09-2013, 11:20 PM

This is where this poll series gets really interesting to me. You never think so few players wear certain numbers, particularly ones low enough to be in the 20s. I'm sure the upper 30s will be dreadful too. Most of the latter halves of number "decades" will be sparsely populated, due to the college numbering rules.

Because Derrick Rose has less than four full seasons of playing under his belt. McGrady already has a career with legendary moments defined. It would be stupid for Rose to beat him.

Let's say Rose retired today due to his injury. He should be the first MVP ever to not make the hall of fame.
