KG to wear #5

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/07/31/kg-will-reportedly-wear-number-5/

Kevin Garnett will have to get used to a new team, new city, and a new number. The forward couldn't wear his typical #21 because it belongs to the retired Bill Sharman, his second choice of #1 because it is retired to founder Walter Brown, nor could he wear #2 because it is retired to Red Auerbach. So, Garnett was forced to settle for #5, which represents his draft number in the 1995 draft. How many of you are going to sport a new KG #5 Celtic green jersey?
