I go back a ways.

others may wear it because Jordan was their favorite player in their formidable years as a basketball fan. First thoughts.

RIP, Wayman! :patriot:

Not the best of players but he was still good for the Suns. :)

if nothing else than for how much he always seemed to enjoy the game :)

Before that he had a few good years with the Kings and Pacers, and averaged over 20 ppg for a year or two. But in college he was a beast--first team All-American and Big 8 player of the year as a freshman, sophomore, and junior. Oklahoma is definitely a football school, but there aren't many (if any) football players that Sooner fans like more than Wayman. When I saw the OP about #23, I couldn't resist the chance to give him his props :D

They wear it either because they want to be the next Jordan or because they really liked Jordan as a younger person. A number of people pick jersey numbers based on the fact that they liked particular players who wore the same number earlier.
