My Why
 
The purpose of this page is for me to post
questions and opinions regarding Shane.
 
Why is Shane's head so wrinkly?
What is the significance of wearing 31?
- Shane Battier: When I went to Duke, Nos. 32, 33 and 35. Christian Laettner, Grant Hill and Danny Ferry have those hanging in the rafters and they are unavailable to us. So, my goal was to have my jersey retired after leaving Duke, so I thought that No. 31 would be a good one to try and keep that streak going. (Shane's response in an online chat, 1/22/07.)
