I dont see why its such a big deal really, its just a number. Everyone knows him as number 5 from college, it would only make more money to the team that drafts him as far as jerseys being sold. This has nothing to do with being bigger than the league. As far as the refs go, making it easier on differiating the players from one another? If they make a call they should know exactly whom they are making it on.
