Why OnePlus 5?

The moniker OnePlus 4 skipped as the number four is considered unlucky in the country, but the OnePlus 5 didn't get its name as it is the fifth phone to be launched by them. Many OnePlus employees consider themselves as fans of the number five jersey of Robert Horry, the former NBA player.
