Keldon Johnson says he is keeping #3 this season

Chris Paul will wear a different number for the first time in his career

This video, released by Jeff Garcia of KENS5, shows Keldon Johnson still has #3 on his jersey.

In the eleven second video clip, Keldon can be heard stating, “I’ll be #3 next year for sure.”

Which means for the first time in his NBA career, Chris Paul will not be wearing the #3 jersey.

What number should Chris Paul wear?

#7, as this is his seventh team. David Duke, Jr. is returning to the Spurs and wore #7 last year.

Perhaps #12 to represent his All-Star appearances. But #12 belonged to Bruce Bowen and was retired. Bowen allowed it be taken out of retirement for LaMarcus Aldridge. Doubt he’s going to be as polite when it’s a back-up request.

#2 for his two Olympic gold medals. Might he a good time for Spurs fans to move on from our last #2.

#5 to represent the five times he has been the league’s leader in assists. It’s been available since Dejounte left town.

#75 for his addition to the NBA’s 75th anniversary team.

Keep it going.

if Keldon is keeping #3, what becomes of CP3?
