He wore 0 in college and 5 in high school. WCS is 00 and Richardson is 5 currently. Maybe 50...

Mason wore 0 in college as well.



I'm kind of hoping Fox wears 0. There's built in marketing right there with all the lobs he'll be throwing to Willie.

I can't recall ever seeing 0 and 00 on the same team. Is that allowed?

I doubt the NBA will let him but that would be cool. It'd be like one of them being 01 and the other 1. Not likely.

I don't think I've ever seen someone have a number with a 0 in front other than a 00, but it were allowed I'm sure Ron Artest would've already chosen it at some point. :lol: If I'm the Kings I'd argue if they said no because when they call a foul on Willie they always say "double zero" don't they? Double zero and zero should be two different numbers!

Well, there is precedent. I still would have bet against that being allowed if there wasn't photo proof. Just seems like something the league would care about even thou they didn't have to.

Good get, well done.
I think as a marketing thing it would be cool to be #5 and go the Superman theme.
Fox with glasses on is just your average Joe but when he takes them off he turns into 5uperman!
The game promos of him in his dress suit walking into the stadium then fading into a superman theme would be epic.
#5 pick in the draft to boot.

0 means 0, 00 means 100. I see no problem.

Honestly, I'm not even sure Westbrook can do that type of dunk. That's a Zach Lavine-level dunk.

The last time who wear number 5 is Hedo, as I remember. Did we have another since?

EDIT: Malachi Richardson :)

Richardson said in a tweet he's changing numbers. Didn't say what # he's changing to.

Possibly taking McLemore's #23?

Looks like we were on the right track here. He went with the high school #. Malachi should be announcing soon.

I'm watching the pre season game vs the Spurs right now ... And WOW. FOX IS FAST. He's faster than Wall.

The kid is special
