Re: Heat plan to retire Lebron number 6#
It's possible he could be the first player ever to have his number retired by 3 different teams if the Lakers retire his number...

if the lakers retire his number, it will be more cause of marketing (adding another all-time great to other all-time greats)
we can debate if he really deserves to get his jersey retired by the lakers (i dont rate mickey mouse bubble chip)

Not next to it, i assume every team that is retiring Russell’s 6 will be away from the team.

It was trending that way, but every fan including the newer ones will associate 6 pretty strongly with Russell now that his number will be retired around the league. It’ll be more known by casuals of the future than casuals of the last 20 years.

That's not true. Plenty of hall of famers wore the same number.

Re: Heat plan to retire Lebron number 6#
I believe Celtics have 2 number 18's retired so it's been done before. This time it would obviously include one guy that didn't play for them although they also have #23 retired for MJ who never played for them either.

Re: Heat plan to retire Lebron number 6#
I am very happy Lebron joined the Lakers. Him winning a ring in LA only put icing on the great career he's had. There are many who may warrant the title of GOAT, but no one can say they lived up to the hype the way Lebron did. He was everything the media hyped him up to be going into the draft. When else has that ever happened in sports?

He chose # 6 because his idol aka that ghost in Chicago Michael Jeffery Jordan won 6 rings

"We only have 16 titles"- No Laker fan. They'll factor it.

Blazers have #30 retired twice.

I don't think other teams, beside the Celtics, will have banners for Russell. So Miami would just have their own number 6 banner for LeBron.
I think it's a nice move to announce it now, considering that number 6 will be retired anyway, although they might have done it eventually regardless.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

As expected. My question is it going to be in the next couple seasons or after he retires?

Tha NBA, the Lakers, the Heat the record books, history, all acknowledge the title. But whoa stop the presses some trolls on internet websites claom not too. Haha. History nor anyone will care what you think about it. I mean it's clear to see you have no agenda at all.

Just to correct you, Lebron will not be the first player ever to have his number retired by 3 different teams, Lebron would be the 3rd player, only 2 players that have their numbers retired by 3 different teams are Wilt Chamberlain and Pete Maravich
