So I'm not the only one that got a hate vibe from that post

honestly, I’m just talking shit.

@Sony Montana has a valid point. I’m pretty sure some of the older Hall of FAMERS are feeling a way about his number being retired throughout the league and not other greats.

I have infinite amount of respect for Mr. Russell and can understand why they are doing this but I can also understand why some would look at it odd too.

It wasn't a bigger ambassador of the game than Russell, greatest winner, first black head coach. If anyone deserve it it's him
 
I just don’t know what it does for other players

Does Kareem’s jersey get retired league wide? Oscar’s?

what about guys who have the same jersey numbers? Like in the case of Kareem..what about Larry bird? Or does bird not deserve that honor? Doctor J?

Jordan?

then eventually combined with teams retiring their own jerseys you might see a lot more limited options

idk just a thought

shoutout to Bill Russell
 
I didn't say him being a ambassador is the only thing that has his number being retired, I said everything is the reason.

I didnt comment on that or said anything about his # being retired.

I said their are plenty bigger ambassadors of the game because it’s global.
