Last year, ESPN ranked the Top 500 players in the NBA. Despite being the league’s best cheerleader, Golden State Warriors guard Kent Bazemore came in at #499.

It looks like Bazemore is using that as some motivation to improve his game, as the guard recently revealed during a summer league game that he has the number stitched into his shoe.
