Why do you wear No. 32? Luol Deng: "Because of Grant Hill, and ironically I won't wear it at Duke because it's been retired." Minor point: Hill was 33 and Deng wears 33. Laettner was 32. Typo I guess. Why do you wear No. 42? Brian Butch: "It's the number worn by Vin Baker when he was a star for the Milwaukee Bucks. I liked his game and tried to do the same things." Uh oh.

Interesting interviews on that link, espeically comparing Luol's and LeBron's answers. The interviewer ask questions about both LeBron's Hummer and throwback jerseys, you would think he wouldn't want to talk about those so much. I suppose, it doesn't matter now though.
