On June 29, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced that new addition
brownie (pastry) (loanword)
will spend his upcoming NBA career wearing the
No. 9 jersey
. The number has a long tradition and a rich story in Lakers history.
Since the Lakers were founded in 1948, a total of 15 players have worn the No. 9 jersey. These players range from All-Stars like Rondo to international players like Sun Yue, each of whom has left a unique mark on the Lakers' history.
Rondo, the core guard of the Lakers, has helped the team win many NBA championships, and his leadership and defensive skills have made him a representative of the No. 9 jersey. Sun Yue, on the other hand, was the first Chinese player to land in the NBA, and his addition to the team also made the No. 9 jersey leave a deep impression on Chinese basketball fans.
Besides Rondo and Sun Yue, there are many other famous players who have worn the No. 9 jersey. For example, Nick Van Exel is an excellent shooter who made significant contributions to the team during his time with the Lakers. Bazemore and Wesley Matthews, on the other hand, are two outstanding defense players who have shown a high level of skill in the Lakers' games.
There are also a number of other players who have worn the No. 9 jersey and have left their mark on the history of the Lakers. Regardless of the player, they have all fought for the honor of the Lakers and added to the history of the team.
For Brownie, choosing the No. 9 jersey is not only a sign of respect for the history of the Lakers, but also a sign of anticipation for his career. He will carry the tradition and honor of the Lakers and start his NBA career. We look forward to his outstanding performance in the new season and bring new glory to the Lakers. At the same time, we also wish him success in the NBA and become a great basketball player.
