NBA would be retiring Celtics legend Bill Russell's No. 6 shirt

In their bid to respect Celtics incredible player Bill Russell, the NBA will be resigning his No. 6 shirt all through the association, making him the primary player to get the honor. Russell, the foundation of a Boston Celtics line that came out on top for 11 NBA championships and a strong voice for civil rights during and after his profession, passed on July 31 at 88 years old.

Russell wore the No. 6 for his 13-season career from 1956-69. It won't be given again by any NBA group to any player, despite the fact that players who as of now wear No. 6 - a gathering that incorporates Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and the Washington Wizards' Kristaps Porzingis - can hold it.
