List of National Basketball Association retired
jersey numbers
• 3 Dawson does not have an actual number retired in
his honor; rather, a banner with his initials is
hanging from the rafters to pay tribute to his 27
years of service to the team.[13]
• 4 Numbers hang to the rafters as Honored
Minneapolis Lakers. These six Hall-of-Famers were
instrumental to the franchise’s success during its
days in Minneapolis. Except for 22, which was retired
for Baylor, and 34, which has not been reissued since
Shaquille O’Neal’s departure in 2004, these "honored
numbers" are still available.
• 5 The Miami Heat has also honored Miami Dolphins
quarterback Dan Marino with #13, although it is still
available to wear.
• 6 Although #33 is retired, Grant Hill received
permission from Adams to wear it.
• 7 The Seattle SuperSonics historical background was
carried over to the Oklahoma City Thunder, although
its colors, uniforms and logos remain for use by a
future NBA team in Seattle and that the team’s
history will also be shared.
