Take a look at all the retired jerseys around the NBA.
Flying next to the Celtics’ 18 championship banners are a league-high 24 (!!!) retired jersey numbers in the TD Garden rafters. The Lakers retired Kobe Bryant’s jersey—twice. Heck, the Raptors, established in 1995, retired Vince Carter’s No. 15 last year and plan to lift Kyle Lowry’s No. 7 up into the rafters later this season.
