Sonny Parker wore No. 22 for the Golden State Warriors across six seasons (1976-82) after a Texas A&M run and a 17th‑overall pick. He contributed steady scoring and defense, averaging 9.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game in his Warriors tenure.

Warriors history spans multiple cities and more than 75 years, featuring 600+ players and 60 jersey numbers. This jersey-number series spotlights Parker as the fifth to don No. 22, underscoring how a single digit can anchor a player’s identity within a franchise’s evolving eras.

His durable, single‑digit identity reflects a different NBA pace and role, offering fantasy readers a lens to gauge mid‑70s production in context with today’s pace‑and‑space game and the value of steady, multi‑category contributors in deeper leagues.

Draymond Green’s take on LeBron James as greater than Michael Jordan sharpens the GOAT debate by praising James’ ability to win with a limited supporting cast, citing Matthew Dellavedova as an example. The discussion contrasts James’ string of Finals runs against Jordan’s era, framed by the Warriors’ peak from 2015–2018.

Counterpoints highlight the quality of James’ supporting casts across Cleveland, Miami, and L.A.—Wade, Bosh, Irving, Love, Davis—versus Jordan’s surrounding cohort. The piece also notes Luka Dončić as a modern factor in the debate, underscoring how era and roster depth shape the GOAT conversation. The argument remains nuanced and data-rich, not settled.
