Howard Bryant's Take on Retiring Jordan's #
I really liked this article, and thought it did a great job explaining why not only is this a bad idea, but truly why Jackie Robinson's number was retired.
On an interesting side note, growing up I went to the same church as the man who took second in Rookie of the Year voting the year Robinson won it Larry Jansen. He recently passed away .
But yea anyways just wanted to share this article.

nice
I have a problem with retiring Jordan’s number. Bryant’s article explained it much more thoroughly than I would have. Jordan was great, and I would put him in the same league as Babe Ruth, but #3 was only retired in NY.
Something makes me think that Nike has a lot to do with James’ aspirations of retiring ‘23’.
I think
That Lebron is jealous of the attention D-Wade is getting from Jordan. He is premeiring the new Jordans I think on christmas…. Lebron is just acting out.
