So far in the history of pro basketball, we could find only one player that has ever worn the Number 72 in a game. That occurred with the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2010-2011 season when their player Jason Kapono, sported it. Jason you are the winner of the honor of the greatest NBA player to wear Number 72! At last until further notice on this technicality of lack of quantity.
