This guy looks like Tracy Morgan's illegitimate son:

| Heh, 17. Does that mean he wants us to call him the Little Diesel/Aristotle/Moses? |

| maybe 17 is the meaning of having the same promise of 34 but not the ego? |

It probably has to do w/ his age at the time he was drafted.

I was just thinking that.
His choice of 17 is OBVIOUSLY an homage to the late great Rick Fox.

17 means one thing and one thing only: this kid will help us finally pass the Celtics with 17 titles. They're sitting on 16 currently. It's odd cause when three years ago Phil said that Buss told him he'd like to at least tie the Celtics while he's alive - and Phil got a chuckle out of it, and said he'd like to see it happen as coach. That was before he was let go, though. Now he's back and Bynum chooses 17 on his aunts urging - weird.

That's the same reason that Rick Fox chose 17. Go Foxy!

| Remember why Jordan chose number 23? People told him he wasn't half as good as his brother, number 45. |

He chose number 17 because his head and his belly are both half the size of Shaq's.

Fox chose 17 because he was going to win a championship before the Celts won their 17th. |

Um...17 = how old he is. The youngest player ever drafted.

Actually, it's not that funny. Jordan took 23 because he couldn't take 22.5. He rounded up.

| 17 is a good option and I don't think he should have taken 34. Hmm… you didn't give us that choice. No vote. |
