The “wrong” number was already very close, but NBA professional Dennis Schröder was lucky: the German basketball star will appear with the number 71 after his move to the Boston Celtics – and not with the 96th. Schröder had his fans over let the future flocking of his jersey vote, for the winner number 48.84 percent of the participants voted. The unloved 96 received at least 41.76 percent of the vote.
The national player had given clear indications before the vote. “As you can imagine, the 96 is not necessarily my favorite because I come from Braunschweig,” said Schröder. The reason for this is the football rivalry between Eintracht Braunschweig and Hannover 96.
Schröder had moved from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Celtics in the summer. At the record champions he could not choose the usual 17 because it was withdrawn from circulation in honor of the club idol John Havlicek. In the end he got the 1 and the 7 in reverse order. According to Schröder, he would have liked to take the 38, but Forward Sam Hauser is already wearing it in Boston.
