Lester most likely requested the jersey number 23, as this number is famously associated with Michael Jordan, one of the most iconic players in NBA history. The league has regulations about retired numbers, and the Chicago Bulls have retired the number 23 in honor of Jordan. While number 45 is also associated with Jordan, it is not retired league-wide like number 23. Therefore, 23 is the most likely choice that would violate the NBA's rules.
Lester was recently selected for an NBA team. He tells his coach which jersey number he wants. His coach tells him that his chosen number is against the league’s rules. Which jersey number did Lester MOST likely request that violated the NBA’s rule?
