OT: Very unimportant all-star question...

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?

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.
