NBA Not Allowing Perry Jones III To Have Roman Numerals

From:realgm

Perry Jones prefers to be referred to as Perry Jones III rather than Perry Jones, which is why he chose jersey No. 3.

However, the NBA does not allow Roman numerals on uniforms, so he will simply have “Jones” on the back of his jersey.

The NFL allows Robert Griffin III to have the Roman number on his nameplate

No surprise here.

That is really stupid. Let the guy use his preferred surname.

Really stupid... Especially considering Artest is allowed to have World Peace on the back on his jersey.

I know it his legal last name, so if Perry Jones changes his last name to Jones and three I's, then it is allowed? Dumb...
