Hi, John, I’ve got a question for you and all our fellow bloggers here. Since number 6 for Bill Russell is retired across the NBA, should we not retire James’s #6 on March 7th, the day Pau’s number will be retired?
2 thoughts: They usually (always?) retire jerseys after a player has finished his career, and the league beat them to
number 6 anyway. He’ll certainly get his spot in the rafters eventually.

Sorry, I forgot he is still wearing #6.

My guess is James won’t get retired until he retires and it will be 23 that gets retired.
