Actually, #7 is a number you are not aloud to use. You are only aloud to have numbers between 0-5 on both digits of your number in high school and the NCAA. You are correct, Lighty did wear #35 in high school.

#20 is somewhat of a weird number to have for a post, but as long as he plays like an all-american I dont care what number he has on his jersey.

That is correct. You cannot use any number over 5. I believe they made this rule so the refs could more easily communicate with his hands which player commited the foul. For instance if Michael Jordan committed a foul the ref would signal 2 with his right hand and three with his left hand to indicate to the official scorer that number twenty three commited the foul.

You forgot 00, as worn by Tony Campbell when he played for Ohio State in the early 1880s (i.e. 1981 to 1984).

Yep those were exceptions made by the NBA.

As for Oden wearing 20, maybe some of pain medication went to his head and he thinks he is playing the 2 guard when he comes back. :tongue2:

some positive news.....

Step forward for Oden

Freshman center Greg Oden had a screw removed from his surgically repaired right wrist, but Matta said the timetable for his return remains uncertain.

"Just because the pin's out, he's not back to normal. We still have a ways to go," Matta said.

Oden had surgery June 16 to reattach a torn ligament in the wrist, which he injured in February. The screw was inserted to stabilize bones while the ligament healed.

Matta said recently that he hoped to have Oden in the lineup by Jan. 1.

My personal opinion is that he will be ready a couple of games before the Big Ten opener against Indiana...

Oden only wore #50 in HS because it was the only one that fit him.

Prior to that #20 was his number.
