Recently, NBA decided to permanently retire Bill Russell’s No. 6 jersey from the entire league.

[{"selector":"#anim-010bd215-a367-41fd-87ec-162510be2907 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4df8f826-7396-4520-a28f-f42957755b0a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91413659-cff5-4a00-ba97-dcfd2b9215d4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9b7e748-c0ef-4bf7-acca-3e3aabbdc428","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.7651%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Russell a 11-time champion, is the first NBA player ever to receive such a kind of an honor.

[{"selector":"#anim-48eaba93-c492-475e-9daf-7cf0665e5d6f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8f0d0724-0840-4e2f-ad99-6b245ab6f1da","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8bfce70f-3eaf-46a3-8d00-28ecb95c8410","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.7651%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Just like MLB retired No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson in 1997, NBA decided to do the same for BILL RUSSELL.

[{"selector":"#anim-c1e2125a-9d72-40e2-83e1-b00ad1f83257","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5bc3ee90-c790-4665-b740-e37e2700c588","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8dadcb40-54ce-475b-a40d-ab4b75b296af","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.44295%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, LeBron James who currently wears NO.6 may still be allowed wearing it.

[{"selector":"#anim-d1f38ab4-393a-479e-9d29-fa1e1346d468","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-93217fd1-f025-4c0e-95ec-53dea07ae7bf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58a62575-792d-42db-ab8e-053d9d10b5d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.44295%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Though, NO.6 can no longer be issued to new or upcoming NBA players.

[{"selector":"#anim-37204436-28fe-457f-be89-c4362d951c51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-63b7fc05-2b75-40c1-9501-7e08b8c4e189","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-72b9c8c2-7193-4843-9084-e6c5a387997c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.44295%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":390,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
