Hey everyone please post suggestions for what number I should wear in Dallas. I will be selecting the number that get’s the most votes from you the fans. The number 31 is not available for me!!!!!!
Matrix
13: a reversal of 31, a way to show you own the game inside and out because your game is so versatile.
Hay Shawn am glad your in dallas any way i really want you to wear the number 21
Hay Shawn

Hey Shawn,
I didn’t like you in Phoenix but I always liked your game. What about 22?
Hey Shawn,
I didn’t like you in Phoenix but I always liked your game. Welcome to Dallas. Glad you are on the Mavs team. What about 22?
Hey shawn whatsup up here are a few picks. 00,1,21
You should wear 7 or 21 in Big D.
MATTRIIXX in Dallas!! Finally we get an athletic, defensive stopping, ceiling jumping player! Welcome btw.. I’ve been reading around and I say pick one of these numbers: 01- Then your the REAL Matrix, Ha! or 4. 3+1=4 and Dallas is your 4th team
If you do pick one of these numbers give credit to no one but Jesus!

Whats going on Shawn! I think you should roll with the number 33, by the way welcome to “BIG D” aka Dolla$ TX, get us that ring bro.
Number 22 or 21. Hope you’ll be an all-star in 2010 again. Shine in Dallas, Goodluck
First off WELCOME TO THE D!! As far as your number goes i think you should go with the Rolando Blackman 22 or Derek Harper 12, the Mavs dont have a long history but theyve had good players. Good Luck SHAWN!
Hey congrats on the new team. Wat about 38. your age plus ur bday.. or why not 7 again? Or 5 because you signed a 5 year deal lol..78 or 15. so many possiblities. Good luck with it. Cya
Much love,

Wear #3. No Mav has worn that ever. Make it yours.
Hey Shawn,
I would say go with 15, I think its perfect for you, if not then 9, its gotta be between those 2, those numbers would be beast on you man

How about using the number 21 or 22? It somehow makes me think of these numbers when I know that you can easily achive a double double in almost every game you play.
I’m thinking you should rock the #7 again…
Shawn I’d say go with 10 cause obviously 31 you chose because of Reggie, and just to keep that going, chose his Olympics squad jersey #.
Or Take number 13–> reverse of 31
OR 61, because it’s random and also cause its my football jersey number! haha
You gotta wear #30 in honor of Kenny the jet, who gave you your nickname!
I think you should wear either 1 or 3 and you’ll keep part of your number!
Why not 22? Didn’t you wear 11 on the 2004 Olympic team? Since then you are twice as good now as you were then, thus the 22. Some good things have come out of Dallas that wore double duce!
Shawn,
I think #10 would be your best choice. It’s the perfect representation for your nickname, “The Matrix. It’s all just 1’s and 0’s and #10 includes both. Good luck this year dude!!
Shawn … die hard mavs fan here! i am so thrilled to have on the team! this season is going to be awesome! my suggestion for your jersey is either 4 or 21! Good luck this season and go MAVS!!!
I don’t know if 13 is available, but that would be cool to have 31 backwards. Also, 4 if available for 3 + 1, or 2 for 3 – 1. I hope that helps, and good luck.
hey i was thinking #9(your draft pick number) or i was thinking doing something original and use a number thats never been used in NBA History here are the numbers that have never been worn (57,58,59,63,64,69,72,74,75,78,79,80,81,85,86,87,92,94,95,97)
Welcome to tha D! We’ve been waiting for a player like you on this team, you are a great upgrade to an already good team. I think you should wear 21. We can’t wait for the season to start with u on the squad! Good luck! I’ll be watchin! Go Mavs!

hey shawn
wear number 7 because im pretty sure its available and its a badass number
also join facebook becuz everyone on the dallas mavericks site on facebook thinks u should wear number 7 too!!
good luck man!!!!!
Hey If you are a matrix fan you should go with the #1 like neo on the movie. Or I like 4 or 13 hope I help Takecare Bro.
Hi Shawn! Congratulations to your move to Dallas and good luck with the new team! As for the number I suggest 13 as your previous number 31 but flipped.
Hey Shawn!
Here you go: http://tinyurl.com/marion7
What about #8??
Well i would like #7 like you did in Miami as well. If you wanna know how #7 looks like I made a jersey switch of you
Greets from Germany!
What’s up Bro.
Hope you do good this year, to take the team deep in the playoffs. As for your number i think you should get either 7,14,21, or 24 you should just start a poll to let the fans pick your number i’ll start one for you here.

hey Shawn, if you want something kinda clever you could go with 53. That’s the month (May) and year (2003) that “The Matrix: Reloaded,” was released, and we Mavs fans feel like you’re helping us reload for a Championship run, deuces
hey matrix!!!!! I’m from Vincennes How r u doing? I’m glad the mavs signed u I think you’ll b a big help to this team. I think u should go with #15, 33, 34, 35. I will be watching u play every chance I get! I know u will do great!!
ur #1 fan Shawn
Vincennes
Gotta go with 9. The number represents completion, finality, and satisfaction which hopefully symbolizes Dallas as your last stop and permanent home. Plus, there are 9 letters in “The Matrix”, you were drafted 9th in 1999, traded to Miami during your 9th season, traded again in 2009, and finally signed with Dallas on July 9th, 2009. 9 is your number!
Hey Matrix,
Welcome to the Mavs. I look forward to watching the upgraded Mavs featuring Dirk, Kidd, The Jet, Howard, and now The Matrix. Why don’t you pick #7 or #21.

Sup Shawn,
I think think you should go with 23, and make people forget about LBJ and MJ. Make them realize who the greatest 23 in the league is.
We are really excited to have you in Dallas, I’m hoping for big things from you guys this year. GO MAVS!!

Hi Shawn!
Goood luck and have a nice time in Dallas and win 1-2 rings with Dirk & Jason 
I love the fact,that you are a maverick now! I support the number 21
Best wishes,
Tony from Hungary/Budapest
I think 10 should be it cuz you the Matrix. (1001101101101) the whole number thing YADIGG. Goo Luck down here in Big D. Big Mavs fan here!!! Cant wait for the Matrix Reloaded!!!
shawn its eddy from Canada u should defnitly go with number 3
it suits you really well!!
other options 14 or 13
my opinion
good luck matrix
Do what Billups did and wear a Cowboys number (8, 22, 88, 21) – (Aikman, Smith, Irvin, Neon)
Make them give you 36 The=3 Matrix=6
It seems like the NBA doesn’t make anyone keep their numbers to 5 and below anymore. If not, 00 would be cool too.
How about 81? It looks like 31, but with the “holes” in the 3 filled in. Because now that you’re on a championship contender again, you’re a complete player!
Go Mavs!
you should definitely wear #24
i wanted you to wear #3 but our new rookie got it
I vote #21. It kinda looks like 31, but it’s also 3×7. Then You-Jet-Dirk: 21-31-41. The positions are off, but that’s the league’s fault.
Of the other suggestions, #15 is retired, and #13 and #3 are taken by other players.
Hey Shawn, Im a Mavs fan in Dallas and I think you should go with 13
Hey Shawn, I am very excited to see you as a Maverick. and I think you should be number 1. This depends on if ryan hollins comes back or not. The reason why I like #1 is because, there is this movie you may have heard of called the MATRIX. And this movie was released on march,”31″ 1999! In this movie the main character NEO is called the chosen ONE! and if you cant get #1 try to get 0 because zero and o look alike. and O is the first letter of one.
