strange but true

Well, I haven't seen a good thread here for a while that didn't end with a flame war so I picked a topic with very little chance for arguments although I shouldn't underestimate some of the distinguished posters.

So like the topic says post something weird about the NBA, kind of a "did you know" type of thing. I kind interested to see if anyone can up with something to surprise me. Here's me:

Did you that last year's Laker starting lineup played together a long time ago? Shaq, Kobe, Payton, and Malone were all starters for the West at the 98 All star game.

Did you know that Michael Jordan once played for 3 different jersey numbers as a Bull? the 23 and 45 we all know, but he also played in a number 12 jersey when they couldn't find his number 23 jersey.

Wasn't his #23 jersey stolen from the locker rooms or something the night he wore #12?

This was on a basketball card, Sam Vincent I think.. I also think it was made by topps and worth about $1.50, simply becuase it had a clear shot of mj in # 12
