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 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.

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

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.
