LOL. I was coming to see if this was posted. It's true. I came in at the end of a radio interview with him on Fox Sports (during an LA-based show I believe) this evening and while I only caught the last bit of his interview, the hosts did talk about it and later on after I came out of the store they brought up the reason why. So I can confirm this with my own ears for the most part.

Apparently he's chosen the number 37 - the number of weeks "Thriller" was 1st on the Billboard charts.

Actually it's #15
We had him before the Pacers did and threw him away for Jalen Rose. ugh.
Ok, back to Lakerland, sorry for the interuption...

Please not #1. Everytime I see a #1 jersey it reminds me of SMUSH.
