OT: Very unimportant all-star question...

[U2larkin04]

This is a very unimportant question that carries no importance whatsoever... but for some reason I still want to know the answer... Does anyone know if there are 2 or more players on the same all-star team with the same jersey number, do they just let the players wear their same number or do some guys have to change it for the game?

[chakdaddy]

In the old days guys would change, Bird would get 33 over Ewing/Pippen due to seniority, etc. I think things changed when teams wore their own teams uniforms for a while; I think the past few years they are just allowing the duplicate numbers - not sure though.

I think I remember there being some duplicate numbers last season.

Edit: Yeah, Jamison and Bosh, and Iverson and Paul had the same numbers last time.

[NashtyNas]

Yeah, duplicate numbers are allowed.

ya, no one is fouling out for playing tough d in the all star game...
