Hey Shape, say Kobe had bailed during his tantrum offseason in 2004 should his number be retired at Staples Center when he retires?
no doubt they should retire lebron's jersey. but it's going to take a little while before it happens.
I think they should retire his title... there will never be another King of Cleveland. Maybe a Duke... perhaps a Minister.... or maybe even an Emperor... never another King though.
Maybe they should never use the number again out of hatred, rather than respect. That and the number 6, since he was going to change to that anyway.
