There is a list if Hall of Fame players who have yet to get their jersey retired and hung up in the rafters.

Tracy McGrady (Orlando and/or Houston)
Grant Hill (Detroit)
Artist Gilmore (Chicago and/or San Antonio)
Cliff Hagan (St Louis; now Atlanta Hawks)
Walt Bellamy (Baltimore; now Washington Wizards)

Gary Payton and George Mikan are interesting cases.
George Mikan played for the Lakers (Minneapolis) yet his jersey isn't retired as a Laker but yet for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Gary Payton played the majority of his Hall of Fame career with the Seattle SuperSonics. However, they are no more (OKC Thunder.)

Is KG's jersey retired in Minnesota? Doesn't he have beef with the owner or something?

Boston is retiring his jersey in January I think.

Thanks for that mention. Add his teammate Ray Allen to the list.

If too many numbers get retired, teams will eventually run out of numbers.

And that's my deep thought of the day.

Thanks, I didn't know that about George Mikan. The Lakers should retire his jersey, as he was not only their first great, but really the league's first great.

Maybe 300 years for now. Even the Celtics only have 20 numbers retired. Lakers have 11. Sixers have 10. No one else probably has over 8.

Miami retired michael jordan's jersey number 23 even if he was a goat fraud and never played for that team. :biggums:

The biggest reason why lebron "king kong" james had to wear the number 6 during his stint in south beach i guess.

I know it kind of pales in comparison to a lot of the names mentioned but I have always thought it was an atrocity that the Orlando Magic have not retired jameer Nelson Jersey

Drazen is retired for the Nets.

Also, while looking up the Nets, noticed JASON KIDD jersey not hung in the rafters. So I checked in Phoenix and Dallas and not their either. Steve Nash jersey not retired in Dallas or Phoenix either ...... interesting.

This jersey retirement is kinda lame.

In the future, players would be rocking jersey numbers 145 & 32c :lol

AD number is retired but good one on King. I figured his number was hanging from the Garden.
