Dime Magazine compiled a list of who they thought were the best players at their respective jersey numbers. Granted, this list is not the “best of the best” in the NBA given that Jason Maxiell is considered the best player in the NBA, right now, to rock number 54. Like Maxiell, there aren’t many others at other obscure numbers like 86 either (who’s Semih Erden?).
↵But Dime Magazine recognizes David Lee (10) and Vladimir Radmanovic (77) to be the best at their chosen numbers. Monta has stiff competition, sharing with arguably the best in the NBA, Kobe Bryant. Though, we can expect Stephen Curry (30) to eventually take David West’s spot.
