Kuminga to be Warriors rarity by wearing jersey number 00

Share

After the Warriors drafted Jonathan Kuminga with the number seven pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, he spoke to the media about his ceiling and how he can help Golden State win.

It's been just a few hours since Jonathan Kuminga was drafted by the Warriors with the No. 7 overall pick in the draft, and the rookie is already making history for Golden State. 

Kuminga will begin his NBA career dawning a jersey with double zeroes on the back. 

The 18-year old forward will join just two other Warriors players in franchise history to have ever worn jersey number 00. 

Hall of Famer Robert Parish and 10-year veteran Tony Delk are the two other players to wear 00 for the Warriors.

Delk was with the Warriors for a season and a half, while Parish only played for Golden State for the first four years of his incredible 14-year career. 

If Kuminga were to stick around with the Warriors for a while, the 00 may eventually be synonymous with himself.
