The most famous number in sports. Jordan made it legendary. LeBron wore it as a tribute. Both are in the GOAT conversation. The Bulls retired it.
Kobe wore #24 in his later years (and #8 early career). The Lakers retired BOTH numbers. Only player in NBA history with two retired jerseys for the same team.
The most retired number in the NBA. At least 8 teams have retired #33. Bird's banner hangs in TD Garden.
The only number retired league-wide. After Bill Russell's death in 2022, the NBA retired #6 across all 30 teams. 11 championships. The ultimate winner.
Curry's #30 will be retired by the Warriors. He changed basketball forever with his 3-point shooting. The most transformative player of his generation.
