Should the NBA retire the #23?

[Whatupdoe44]

wont happen cuz LeBron is the NBA pretty much...

please elaborate on how he is the entire NBA?? cause he has 1 MVP and 0 rings??

If anything the NBA has alot of different "Faces" with all the young stars there are now a days.

No. Would be a good way to sell jerseys though.

[Tengo Juego]

NO!

Since when do leagues retire numbers? Jordan didn't do shit on the Philly Sixers. So why should a player not be allowed to wear that number for that team?

Makes no sense. Jordan was a Bull. Retire 23 in Chicago. And Chicago only.

yes but there should be a grandfather clause.

yes it should be retired and no grandfather clause just retire it

The Miami Heat retired #23, even though Jordan never played for them. That's about as pitiful as it gets.

the Heat retired Dan Marino's jersey too..no joke.

go figure.

lol Unless a player does something really significant, like jackie robinson, i don't see why a team would retire a players jersey...when the player never played for them.

I don't see how anyone that's competitive would be all about the league retiring #23. You think Jordan would say ok if someone asked him to retire #33 on the Bobcats?
