Why did Miami retire Jordan's number?

[Full Court]

He never played for Miami. As far as I can tell, no other franchise ever retired a number for a player that didn't play for them. Anyone have the inside story on why that happened?

Many peers, coaches and execs respected Jordan. But Riles was truly captivated by his career.

I remember Pat speaking on MJ's impact globally, and delving into his case for GOAT. He wanted a way to 'honor the best' so then decided to hang MJ's jersey from the rafters.

An opposing team retiring your number is the epitome of respect.

Don't worry Miami is also going to retire LeBron's jersey.

That's easy, but will a franchise that he didn't ever play for, like Miami and MJ, retire Bran's number out of respect???

But is another team he never played for going to retire Bronie's jersey?

[hateraid]

Triggered!

[Full Court]

Seems Bronies have a hard time dealing with this.

Ironic OP is triggered not having the last post!

Why do you think Lebron keeps changing teams?
