Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5272260, member: 628"] Because eventually every team ends up like the Celtics and has dozens of numbers they can’t use. It’s silly. I like hanging a players name and number as a way to honor them. And then you also still use the number as a way to preserve the tradition and legacy. The whole history of 44 is (a) from football, and (b) due to SEVERAL players wearing it. If we retired it when Brown left there’d literally be no legend of 44. It’d just be a number one guy wore.
