Friday Trivia: Lowest number never used in NBA

Ostertag was 00, and Olden Polynice was another who wore 0. Because "00" and "0" are signalled by a ref the same way (as just "0"), only one of these numbers can be worn by teammates, so when Polynice joined the Jazz, one of them had to change his number. Polynice was the "senior" player so he got to keep his "0", Ostertag switched to 39 until Polynice inadvertently retired, opting out of the final year of his contract in an attempt to get more money but eliciting, uh, "zero" interest from any NBA team, Jazz included.

yeh, like i said, i was sure it would be higher. i was guessing in the high 40's.

but 24 players have worn 29!!! I didn't expect that.

Out of all of them, i really only remember Calbert Cheaney.
