Listen, it’s early in this NBA season and we’re all clearly getting the rust off. That appears true of the New York Knicks — well, either their equipment manager of jersey supplier (I’m not sure exactly who to pin this on) — who gave Reggie Bullock a jersey for their Saturday night game against the 76ers that had two separate numbers on it.
Bullock’s jersey, which was the Knicks’ special “City That Never Sleeps” alternate, was number 25 on the front and number 23 on the back, which instantly makes this a premium collector’s item, and also makes me curious how Bullock will officially be scored in this game. I think it has to be #25, because Mitchell Robinson is wearing #23 for the Knicks.
Or he wanted #24 and split the difference.
