With the announcement that the Orlando Magic will retire Shaquille O’Neal’s jersey, the NBA has finally done it! All 30 teams have officially retired a jersey number for a specific player (Yes, before Shaq, the Magic’s only jersey retired was No. 6 for “The Sixth Man,” a.k.a the fans).
In honor of the achievement, here is every jersey number — players only — retired by an NBA franchise.
As of 2022, Bill Russell’s No. 6 is the first and only number to be retired across the league.
