martell webster said he is changing to 23 this year.

Hey,

Awesome job with the rosters! I do have one suggestion, though: shouldn't Taylor Griffin of the Suns be from Oklahoma, not Oklahoma State? Just browsing the rosters and noticed he's listed as coming from Oklahoma State; no big deal.

Thanks,
Patrick

are you sure this is a real rule? the only issue with changing numbers i know of has to do with when they print jerseys.

nice find, it must have got bumped or something. i know it may not make a difference but i put a lot of time and effort to make my rosters as real as possible but occasionally, though very rairly, i do make a mistake lol! i appreciate when people let me know of things like this. i went through like 7 seasons of classic roster work and avery johnson somehow got changed to a righty and cant believe it went unnoticed, not just by me but by everyone else. however minor it may be i truely appreciate the help.

Artest going to wear #37

Ron Artest is going to wear No. 37 because that was the number of weeks Thriller was atop the charts.

got it already in the last update. artest is a nut job. i understand paying tribute to a legend but that particular method of deciding on 37 is the oddest ive ever heard of. i wonder how he decided to wear 96 with houston, maybe it was the amount of screws he had loose at the time.

he choose #96 because it stood for QB or qb (Queens Bridge).... i do like the fact he chooses off the wall numbers, instead of seeing the same numbers used all the time

when was the last update released?

[portlandblazer]

yesterday. i put a new one up after any major news. so i added marcus haislip to san antonio and put sheed on boston and some other minor stuff.

The Spurs are going to sign Antonio McDyess. Should be announced later today or tomorrow.

Nice addition to the Spurs team.
