Michael Jordan was a white supremacist?!

88 could also be a reference to the fabled German artillery piece.

I thought this for a long time, but:

Eighty-eight is used as code among Neo-Nazis to identify each other.[2] H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 is taken to stand for HH which in turn means Heil Hitler.[3] For example, the number is used in the song "88 rock'n'roll band" by the neo-Nazi group Landser. The late convicted Order terrorist David Lane wrote "Fourteen Words" and 88 Precepts, and the numbers are often found in combination (1488, 14/88, etc.). This form of the number has inspired the naming of the groups Column 88, Unit 88, and White Legion 88.

Arguably the most successful artillery of the WWII.

Actually, If you take my username, I am a white supremacist of the Blood & Honour group.

 

[gdl203]

I thought that was because it looks very much like "SS"

 

[hossoso]

There are 88 keys on a piano.

And I'm a white supremacist with a bullet hole in his forehead

These nazi number-letter codes remind me of the convoluted bible code math used in many Jewish teachings where letters adding up to certain numbers are interpreted as evidence of some underlying (i.e. divine) meaning for the writings.

 

[Manton]

Machiavelli uses number codes.

They were very real -- like, blow the turret off a T-34 from 2km away real.
