Will Miami retire LeBron's jersey?

[WayOfWade]

And quick question, what players have had their jerseys retire by multiple teams? And this is not counting Michael Jordan, that's some bs Miami pulled by putting his jersey in there

Off the top of my head, KAJ, Wilt (3 teams), Barkley, and Drexler.

It'll be interesting to see what they do. Do I think they will? I'd say yes. Do I think they should? Strangely enough there's something nagging at me that doesn't want them to. On one hand he ushered in the greatest basketball era Miami has ever seen, and on the other hand he only spent 4 seasons there and then ditched the team. I'm kind of torn on this one, but if they do retire it, it won't bother me

Yeah, that's how I kinda looked at it.

I'm all for retiring LeBron's jersey in Miami, but I won't be really bothered if they decided not to (well, I guess it wouldn't make sense since they retired Jordan's ).

Off the top of my head:

Barkley
Wilt
KAJ
Moses

EDIT:

I think Oscar Robertson as well.

I forgot about Moses and Big-O. Of active players I'd say Lebron, Garnett and Chris Paul have a good shot to join that list.

Carmelo and Dwight as well maybe?

I always thought Orlando should've retired Shaq's jersey as well.

I highly doubt anyone is going to want to retire Dwight's jersey. The dude straight up shafted Orlando and forced his way out, then clowed LA and chickened out of there, and so far has severly underperformed in Houston compared to his Orlando-level of play

[Magic 32]

Well, they already retired the jersey of someone else who was never really one of them...

[kennethgriffin]

The jersey isn't retired. Mike Miller wore #13. Neither Marino's jersey nor MJ's are in the rafters next to the championship banners and Mourning/Hardaway, they're tucked away in the nosebleeeds





people keep saying this but it makes them sound really dumb

When did they retire #23 anyway. Seems like its been worn lately

[GrapeApe]

Again, the Marino and Jordan jerseys aren't technically "retired". They are simply honoring a Miami sports icon and the GOAT basketball player. They hang separately from the true retired jerseys of Mourning and Hardaway. Lebron could have worn #23, he just chose not to. Mike Miller wore #13. When Lebron retires, I'm sure his #6 will be retired, and it's safe to say no Heat player will ever wear #3 again. I also think Bosh's #1 and Haslem's #40 will hang in the rafters.

[Kobe_6/8]

He deserves it. He was there 4 seasons, won 2 MVP & 2 FMVP.

[SaltyMeatballs]

They definitely should and I think they will.

In his 4 years there he got them 2 chips, and brought em in the finals all 4 years. He even won 2 MVPs and 2 FMVPs for himself.

Still though, Dwight was the only reason they were relevant for the latter part of the decade. Dude won 3 DPOY awards and hold the franchise record for points and rebounds.

If he plays out the rest of his career in Houston and a average respectable numbers (15/10), I don't see why they won't retire him.

[aquaadverse]

Nope.He screwed the Don. You don't screw the Don without consequences .

[Lebron23]

Yes, They are going to retire his jersey number.
