And your point has nothing to do with the original post of the thread. As said before, its a symbol of leadership and hard workmanship.

WTF? His point has everything to do with the original post of the thread. You just don't agree with his opinion.

This thread is about the number 18. He doesn’t have a problem with the tradition of awarding a player with a number that holds special significance. He merely questions the choice of the number: 18. Why 18?

I actually think it was one of the more brilliant moves by Miles. The “tradition” could have caused serious problems until Miles co-opted the whole thing. Honestly, it was a brilliant move by Miles to appropriate an idea that could have sowed dissension and turn it to his advantage.
