Speaking of the Celtics… After the passing of Celtics legend Bill Russell the NBA has said that no player for any team will ever be given the number 6 ever again. That makes Bill Russell the first NBA player to have his number retired league wide. A pretty huge deal as there are only so many numbers. I’m sure the entire season will be filled with tributes to Bill who was a championship machine when he played.
Pretty big decision that is deserving for the one who has a ring even at his foot. Unless he had 11 hand fingers. 
This means all who wears number 6 this season should change their numbers too. Right?
Who are they?
1. Lebron James. He is the one know to wear so I guess we will see him again in a number 23 jersey.

If Michael Jordan dies, (fingers crossed but we will all go there) will they do the same thing? The jersey number 23 means a lot to different players and it will not be the same if we won't see it being worn by those who look up on him.
