Each day will count down a jersey as the days pass. Tomorrow will be jersey 98, then 97, etc. Look at the list of players (and years played) and declare the best to ever wear that number, or, your favorite. Perhaps there is a special play or moment you recall. Log your thoughts in the thread to be held in our archives of Bulls information and comment. Also, vote above for the greatest player to wear the number. For today:#49 Ron Johnson 1998 Kawika Mitchell 1999 Justin Geisler 2001-04 Chris Robinson 2006-09 Previous Polls:Greatest Player to wear #99 - Tevin Mims 2012-2013Greatest Player to wear #98 - Aaron Harris 2006-09Greatest Player to wear #97 - Terrell McClain 2007-2009Greatest Player to wear #96 - Sampson Genus 2008Greatest Player to wear #95 - George Selvie 2006-09Greatest Player to wear #94 - Craig Marshall 2008-10Greatest Player to wear #93 - Lee Roy Selmon, Jr. 1999-2004Greatest Player to wear #92 - Luke Sager 2010-13Greatest Player to wear #91 - Keith McKaskill 2008-11Greatest Player to wear #90 - Jason Pierre-Paul 2009Greatest Player to wear #89 - Taurus Johnson 2005-08Greatest Player to wear #88 - Shawn Hay 1997-2000Greatest Player to wear #87 - Jessie Hester 2005, 2007-09Greatest Player to wear #86 - Mike McFarland 2011Greatest Player to wear #85 - Andrew Ketchel 2007-10Greatest Player to wear #84 - Will Bleakley 2004-06Greatest Player to wear #83 - Trevor Hypolite 1997-98Greatest Player to wear #82 - Ben Busbee 2006-09Greatest Player to wear #81 - DeAndrew Rubin 1999Greatest Player to wear #80 - Ean Randolph 2006Greatest Player to wear #79 - Chaz Hine 2008-11Greatest Player to wear #78 - Marc Dile 2005-08Greatest Player to wear #77 - Jake Griffin 2005-08Greatest Player to wear #76 - Richard Clebert 2004-07Greatest Player to wear #75 - Walter Walker 2004-07Greatest Player to wear #74 - Kenyatta Jones 1997-2000Greatest Player to wear #73 - Damien Edwards 2009-12Greatest Player to wear #72 - Jerome Springfield 2004-05Greatest Player to wear #71 - Matt Huners 2005-08Greatest Player to wear #70 - Larry Scott 1997-99Greatest Player to wear #69 - Nick Capogna 2007Greatest Player to wear #68 - Michael Walsh 2008-11Greatest Player to wear #67 - Eric Setser 2007Greatest Player to wear #66 - Kevin McCaskill 2008-11Greatest Player to wear #65 - Ryan Schmidt 2006-08Greatest Player to wear #64 - Jacob Sims 2007-10Greatest Player to wear #63 - Therrimann Edwards 1997-2000Greatest Player to wear #62 - Sampson Genus 2007, 2009-10Greatest Player to wear #61 - Zach Hermann 2007-09Greatest Player to wear #60 - Danous Estenor 2008-12Greatest Player to wear #59 - Ben Moffitt 2004-07Greatest Player to wear #58 - David Bedford 2008-10Greatest Player to wear #57 - Jacquian Williams 2009-10Greatest Player to wear #56 - Terrence Royal 2002-05Greatest Player to wear #55 - Jeremiah Warren 2008-11Greatest Player to wear #54 - Patrick St. Louis 2003-06Greatest Player to wear #53 - Brouce Mompremier 2005-08 Greatest Player to wear #52 - Zack Bullock 2012 Greatest Player to wear #51 - Stephen Nicholas 2003-06 Greatest Player to wear #50 - Jason Butler 1997-99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Kawika changed to 5, but from what...I would have never guessed 49. Despite inconsistency, I loved watching Chris Robinson play. Of course, if memory serves, Ron Johnson was "Uncle Ron" as a walk on and was considered an old dude when he walked on...late 20s or so.....military maybe.

Robinson was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saving my Kawakami vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson could have been a great player if he could have kept his head on straight and been consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
