When did he change his number?
It's in memory of his mom and grandma who died from cancer on the 5th day of the month. Both died within months of each other when he was 13, pretty sad story.
he always wore 5 but when he got drafted malik beasley was wearing it so he went with 1 (A1 from day 1). he swapped with SloMo this year
He was 1 last season, 5 now. The 5th of the month is the day his mom and grandmother died in the same year on the 5th of different months. His number was always 5 before pro too. And his bday is on the 5th of August too
