Great Rabbino counts the Omer
It is interesting to find other Jewish blogs relating to sports. There was an interesting post by the Great Rabbino on the counting of the Omer where he spins the Omer Casspi and lists the best players at each uniform number.
For reference, here are a few from the Great Rabbino’s list:
- 1 Oscar Robertson
- 2 Moses Malone
- 3 Allen Iverson
- 5 Jason Kidd
- 6 Bill Russell
- 7 Pete Maravich
- 8 Kobe Bryant
- 9 Bob Petit
- 10 Walt Frazier
- 11 Isiah Thomas
- 12 John Stockton
- 13 Wilt Chamberlain
- 14 Bob Cousy
- 15 Earl Monroe
- 16 Bob Lanier
- 17 John Havlicek
- 18 Dave Cowens
- 19 Willis Reed
- 21 Tim Duncan
- 22 Elgin Baylor
- 23 Michael Jordan
And if you are wondering, Jordan got #45 as well.
