Maybe I’m obsessed with numbers more than I thought. I mean, I’ve always known that I’m a stat freak, but never realized that it went even deeper. As I have written about a few numbers being retired from Rickey Henderson to whether or not Jim Brown’s proposed question on whether Kobe should get two numbers retired when his Lakers career is over, and followed that up by saying it was ridiculous that they retire MJ’s number league wide. I see what Lebron was getting at, but who makes him the ambassador of the NBA!?! Yes he’s great, but why do others have to change their number. Maybe their tribute to MJ is wearing his old number! On Thursday night, MJ finally spoke out on Lebron’s request to have his number retired here. I guess it took Jordan a little while to chime in on it between all those rounds of golf, er, I mean working hard to make the Bobcats better by acquiring SJax… Anyways, I fully agree with the man and his always politically correct statements that if they retired his number, they’d probably have to retire at least another five players numbers! His list included Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson to name a few. Not a bad list as none of them has won less than three titles, and all had just as much of an impact on the game as Jordan maybe not financially, but they were all legends.

This whole story shouldn’t be receiving the cold light of day. If they’re going to start retiring numbers then they’d better start with the likes of the Big O , Chamberlain, Kareem and most definitely Bill Russell. If you really want to see the epitome and true meaning of the word ‘class’ . Then just listen to guy talk about the game and what it represent. Never mind what he achieved with the Celtics and then his legacy outside of the game. LeBron should just shut the fu_k up. Because it appears he knowS little about the history of the game prior to Jordan. And that’s sad and disrespectful his predecessors in the NBA !
I wasn’t even born here and I probably know more about Bill Russell than LeBron ever will .
