Remember when big men used to wear big numbers
Where have all the big numbers gone?
Maybe I’m just clinging to my youth. Maybe it’s late July and there’s nothing going on. But when I heard that Mark Williams would be wearing No. 15 for the Phoenix Suns, something about it didn’t sit right.
Mark Williams (@MarkWi1liams) will wear No. 15 for the #Suns. Number last worn by Jalen Bridges in 2025. #NBA pic.twitter.com/tChil7m7Y5
