Courtney Lee picked #11 over #32? Update on Page 2

I was looking at the summer league roster for the Magic and noticed that Courtney Lee's Jersey number was changed from #32 to #11. I wonder why he picked #11 when #32 is available....... :-?

I wish somebody would wear that number again. We need to exorcise the ghost of Shaq.

i guess he thinks shaq is coming back to the magic? lol i hope not. but yah i agree i do think someone needs to wear his number again and do well in it so shaq will see how much a mistake he made for leaving

I would like someone to wear that number just so they can move on from Shaq. Several players have worn #1, someone needs to take 32.

its like kobe....

24-8 = 11... Kobe is 11x better than Jordan

11-32 = -43....Courtney is 43x better than Otis

I've shotgun'd the number. Lee's just playing by the rules.

Howard at #12, and Lee, his new friend, at #11. Hmm.

I don't understand your math.. how is 24 minus 8 = 11? How is 11 minus 32 equal -43?

I know it may sound crazy and many fans would not like it but COULD this possibly mean they want to retire Shaq's number when he retires. Hey you never know.

I'm still pissed at Cook for taking #34.

Too soon. :brokenheart:
