    I didn't see this anywhere and don't know if it's been mentioned, but if Griff's jersey is #41 after his brother why was he in #33 in the summer leagues. I know that was his college number, but don't know why he didn't use 41.

    I have seen much of the rest of the web. It is brutal and cruel and dark. CC.net is the light.

    I remember some other posters were saying that EG wants his first time wearing his borthers no. 41 to feel special, he probably will wear it the first game in the regular season [​IMG]

    It's been mentioned before but it's because he wanted to wear #41 in a game that really mattered, not some summer league game.

    They should forever burn #33. Kinda like a retirement, except with gasoline and extreme heat.

    T-Pooh and BahDakota went up the hill,
    to make a bet on a Forward.
    When it all came down,
    they were nowhere to be found.
    Now they should be drawn and quartered.

    Before we all jump to burn the #33 jersey, just remember this:

    That was the number jersey worn by the Rockets' co-captain when they won the NBA Championship in 1994. Otis Thorpe made the All-Star team as a Rocket and helped lead them to the league title.

    Despite how we lament the acquisition of a certain overpaid quitter, let us never forget the valuable impact of OT on this franchise.

    OT was great for us. He shot such a high % because he made 80% of his dunks.

    Rocketman95- I actually laughed out loud when I read that.

    Don't forget Robert Reid...Mr. Highsocks served the number well.
