Yes! BTW it is also "allowed" to make the total by combining multiple images, one image per digit, etc. Whatever folks want to do! Example:

Great way to start! One of my all-time favorite Suns. He had a great mind for the game too.

^ The Hawk is the only choice for #42, certainly. Nice pic.

Who we got (Neal Walk) and what could have been with a simple call of "tails".



The Suns' general manager, Jerry Colangelo, held a poll in the Arizona Republic asking fans what the team should call. A slight majority of fans voted for "heads," and Colangelo let the fans' decision stand.

Stupid fans!!! (I wasn't old enough to vote and wasn't aware of the vote. I think I was 5-years-old.)

You always call tails on a coin toss. That's just basic facts.

I wasn't aware of that one but it was smart of Jerry to put the onus on the fans. And I'm waiting for somebody else to post a picture of our other significant 41, Big Daddy.

Always demand that the coin be tossed and not caught.

Good point. It wasn't until the commissioner flipped it over that we lost out on Alcindor (later Jabbar).

Jabbar had the coolest 70s hair/facial ever (Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction is a close second).

And speaking of ... Walk was one hairy bastard.
