Release Date Countdown

[Andrew]

So, it looks like we might have a release date (October 6th). If it proves to be wrong, we can always scrap this one and start over. As it is, we might be hard pressed to find pictures of players with jersey numbers this high in the countdown.

"OFFICIAL" COUNTDOWN: HERE

For those who haven't played the game before, it's pretty simple. Post a picture of a player whose jersey number matches the number of days remaining until NBA Live '10's release, according to the above counter. One player per person, per day. In other words when there's 33 days left and somebody posts a picture of Scottie Pippen, you'll have to post Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird or another past or present player who wears (or wore) #33...so long as someone else hasn't already posted them. Remember: one player per person, per day. To help out sourcing jersey numbers for the current day, you might want to use this resource.

As the countdown shows 96 days left, let's get started...

You started it too late. No #99 George Mikan

[Andrew]

I know, just three days out as I only just realised we're (seemingly) within 100 days of the release. Even though the season is over and the offseason is underway, I'm still getting my head around the fact it's July already. 2009 seems to have just flown by.

[shadowgrin]

Same here. Time flies by so fast. I must be getting old and shite.

[bee-boy]

i'm kinda looking forward for the release.

What if no one wears numbers of that respective day? I cant think of anyone who wears no. 89.

[Cartar]

I cant think of anyone who wears no. 89.

There is only one player, who has worn that.

This high in the countdown we'll have to either skip some days, find a picture of an international player that wore a number that high or something a bit tongue in cheek as imefimef did for #95.

[Cartar]

[Andrew]

That might be the best we can do, the only pictures of Lovellette I can find on Google have him wearing #4 or #34.

[Cartar]

It's already 88, so:

You're really good at this aren't you?

By the way, I love that pic because Gasol got dunked on.
