Who is the MVP for the 2006-2007 NBA season?
Actually his Jersey should be hung from Madison Square Garden, where the pacers play, Utah Jazz, Phx Suns, Portland Trailblazers. All these teams were strong enough to win a Championship but MJ's good doings messed up thier chances for good. so these team should honor that, that 1 player can mess up thier 1 chance for GOOD.Reason y miami has his jersey because MJ is hands down the best player the league has seen EVER... and no1 is good in miami to have thier jersey retired there. not even ZO, or SHAQ and WADE.. they all suck.
miami heat stadium? you mean the american airlines arena?
Who in your opinion is the best low post player?
Depends on your viewpoint. Altruistically, they did it to honor Michael Jordan for his tremendous accomplishments and outstanding ability. Selfishly it was to cash in on Jordan since the Heat don't really have anyone in that league. They haven't retired a jersey in their 15 years, Jordan's was the first one, and he was never associated with the team.Here is the lakers trade and new lineup for next season. who's with me?
When he retired the second and final time, Stern announced that #23 would be permanently retired in the ENTIRE league.There will never be a player in the NBA to wear #23 again.
The owner of the HEAT, Mickey A, is a personal friend of MJ's, and retired it after Stern's proclamation as a tribute to MJ. There was nothing selfish about this on the Heat's part.
Although I am unsure why MJ's jersey hangs in Miami...
I am positive that "sportsguy" has it all wrong. No player will ever wear the number 23 again? WHAT!? Lebron James wears the number 23!
Where can I find tickets for Chicago vs. Detroit playoff seires? The game should be in Chicago.?
Sports guy is right certain NBA team retired the 23 number. As tribute. Only certain players can use it i.e Lebron who I think had to get special permission to wear it.Link is about "Heat retires first number"
"In honor of your greatness and for all you've done for the game of basketball -- and not just the NBA, but for all the fans around the world -- we want to honor you tonight and hang your jersey, No. 23, from the rafters," Riley said at midcourt. "No one will ever wear No. 23 for the Miami Heat. You're the best." Jordan then hugged Riley and waved to the crowd.
