Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

The Knicks Uniform Number Project

Like a week ago, I got really curious. I wanted to find a list of who has worn which numbers on the Knicks. I didn't think it was going to be hard, I've seen lists like that for other teams, there's like 10 pages that just have Yankees uniform numbers and nothing else.

But I couldn't find one for the Knicks.

And since uniform numbers are a common topic here, or at least I remember discussing them once or twice, I wanna get a Knicks uniform number listing.

Here's how this is going to work: I'm going to list as many players for each number I can think of off the top of my head, and then, you guys figure out what I missed, and comment, and then hopefully Seth will figure out how to edit it to have what you suggested. Then, this can be a debate-ending machine, so like if you and your friend get into an argument about Tim Thomas' uni number, you can come here, and be like "HAH!" Trust me, that's going to happen.

And when someone gets traded and gets a new number, we can be like "these are the players that had that number previously". Simple shit like that.

I'm going with chronological order, from most recent to least recent.

And don't criticize how sucky my list is. I almost forgot Anthony Mason. And I'm not old enough to remember Rory Sparrow, or his uniform number, although, if I had to guess, I'd say 2. So we need help from the elders. In fact, most of what I got is from the years since 2000.

I doubt I even got all the current Knicks on there. Together, we can make a semi-definitive list of uniform numbers of players who have been on the Knicks, since, oh, I don't know, the early 1990's, or possibly late 80's. So mark down what I missed in the comments, because I want this to be good.

I gotcha bro
Don't worry, even tho I'm only 16, I know my irrelevant Knicks (of the past as well) and irrelevant Knick facts (i.e. numbers):

Jerome also wore #13 (he and Malik switched before the start of last season, Mark Jackson also wore 13)

The indestructable Chris Mills - #42

The godly Erick Strickland - #25 (as did Bill Cartwright and Doc Rivers)

Gerald Wilkins - #21

Richie Guerin and Rick Brunson - #9

Andrew Lang (the ho who injured Ewing) - #28

Keith Van Horn - #2

Phil Jackson - #18

Othella Harrington - #32

Clearance Weatherspoon - #35

One of my favorite Knicks ever, Buck Williams, - #52

Micheal Ray Richardson - #20

My nigro, Qyntel Woods - #6

Ime Udoka - #8

Charles Smith - #54

Lavor Postell - #8

Hubert Davis - #44

Bob McAdoo - #11

Felton Spencer - #50

that's all I got for now

Yes, they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell!

Updated to have Arich and Seth's additions
Unfortunately, I'm completely retarded, and when I posted it, it added all these weird html things which I don't understand at all and will have to figure out later.

I also added the following:
#45 Jackie Butler

#32 Antonio Davis

#14 Bruno Sundov. Before my friend who is friends with Renaldo Balkman was friends with Renaldo Balkman, he was friends with Bruno Sundov, so Bruno always has held a tiny place in my heart.

my bad
Postell was actually 7

but I'll make up for it by hooking you up with some uber-scrubs and such

Travis Knight was #44
Pete Myers was #8
Brian Quinnett was #23
Rod Strickland and Derek Harper were #11 (although not at the same time because that is impossible)
David Wingate (I have so many fucking questions about this guy, he needs to write an autobiography) - #25
Jermaine Jackson was #8
DerMarr Johnson (one of my favorite scrubs) wore #4 (takes good mugshots: http://img.viacomlocalnetworks.com/images_sizedimage_160233937/lg)
Frank Williams was #25 (as did Moochie Norris)
Junkyard Dog was #31

Yes, they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell!

Sky Walker
Kenny Walker was number 34 but then became 7 when Oakley came to town.

Greg Anthony was 2 his first year or two before he switched to 50.

What was Maurice Cheeks?  11?
