...by the Shangai Sharks (from ESPN.com)

(But if #15 is so important to the big guy, why's he wearing #11?)

#5 is worn by Cuttino Mobley and no rookie is going to take that number.

DoD his number was 15, not 5.

I thought windandsea said he chose 11 because it was like 2 arrows going up in the sky, bright future? Anyways, wasn't his # with the national team 13?

Cato fills 13, he went with 11. I'm not sure about 15

Good to see someone here beat ESPN/KRIV to the punch again. I remember reading about this from one of our Chinese friends about 3 weeks ago.

More proof "they" are watching us!
