In fact, the team jersey number in the NBA league is open-ended, the number between 0 and 100 can be selected, and 00 is the number 100. Unlike the FIBA, you can only choose a number between 4 and 15 as the jersey number. But in the history of NBA for so many years, there has never been a player wearing a No. 69 jersey. In fact, before the big bug Rodman had applied to the league for the No. 69 jersey, but was rejected by the president David Stern.
Because the two figures of 69 are put together, it will inevitably make people think about it. The bread has other meanings. The old drivers generally understand it, so I won't go into details here. So when David Stern heard that Rodman wanted to choose the No. 69 jersey, and Rodman was usually unruly, it would discredit the NBA's positive image, so he directly rejected his offer.
And Rodman is also very angry, adding a number 1 on the basis of the 69th, wearing the No. 70 jersey to continue to play. Since then, none of the teams have ever seen No. 69 jerseys, and 69 has become the number that the league is forbidden. If a player wears a No. 69 jersey, it will not only make his image more negative, but also affect the image of many teams.
After all, the NBA is viewable by people of all ages. If the child asks the meaning of the number behind the player, the 69th explanation is really a waste of words. The NBA is a serious league, so when a player wants to use the No. 69 jersey to express his personality, the league will certainly come forward to stop it. Even if the NBA does not issue a statement, the club will not agree that the player is wearing the No. 69 jersey.
Therefore, among the NBA players, there are more people wearing the numbers No. 23, No. 34, No. 3, No. 2, No. 1, No. 0 and No. 11. And these numbers are basically tribute-like, without negative energy. On the 23rd, tribute to Jordan, Curry inherited his father's jersey number 30 and so on, and the 69 is relatively negative, so it will be banned by the league.
The above is my personal opinion. If you have different opinions, you are welcome to discuss in the comment area.
