	Sweet. Should have a giant quiz that includes retired jersey numbers for all NBA teams.

	Missed #25 but is there a reason George Mikan's 99 isn't retired? I realize he played in MIN. but he was a LAKER and easily an all time great?

	Gail Goodrich, you sneaky bastard! Even if there wasn't an all-retired jersey quiz, I think more quizzes for the more vital professional sports teams would be fantastic.

	Given that we already have quizzes for the Yankees, Celtics, Habs, and now Lakers (correct me if I'm missing others), would there really be much of a point in such a quiz? Why not just fill in the few teams that still need one?

	Ha, a Heat retired numbers quiz. T'would be grand. Alonzo Mourning, Michael Jordan, and DAN MARINO FTW.

	Where's George Mikan?

	firenzie:	Apr 27th, 2009 at 21:21 GMT		2 points
	I find it ironic that someone named Bryant supports the Celtics. Anyway, the Celtics retire way too many numbers, like 23 so far versus the Lakers' 7...at least all these Lakers are legends.

	Yeah, you can take it too far sometimes. Retiring a number should be reserved for a truly legendary player. It's a pretty big honor IMHO when you say that no one will ever again wear the jersey number that another player wore.

	And here I thought it would be the other way around.

	Josh, Chick Hearn was the Lakers' announcer for 40 years. (MICrophone)

	According to this, the Lakers have honored several people (including Mikan) from the Minneapolis era, but their numbers are not officially retired: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Lakers_accomplishments_and_records#Retired_jerseys

	@ Bryant: I like how your sporcle username is Bryant and you say the Celtics are better than the Lakers

	New York Football Giants retired numbers quiz. They have retired a bunch of numbers, and it would be a very challenging quiz as the numbers would be mostly old timers.

	daytrader23:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 17:43 GMT		0 points
	Maybe they should have made Hearn a bonus since he was neither a player nor did he have number retired like the question says...

	Malonetd-- you 4got "It's in the refrigerator"...then "the doors closed.. and so on" what about when he said, "he got'm in the popcorn machine!" after a laker pump fakes a player and makes him jump...anywho but that was an easy quiz!

	True Laker Legend...MICHAEL COOPER #21-- SHOULD HAVE HIS JERSEY RETIRED!!!! He earned eight NBA All Defensive Team selections (five 1st Team honors)& was NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 1987. He spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers and was a member of five NBA Championship teams (1980, ’82, ’85, ’87 and ’88). So why NO Banner for COOOOP??!!! Laker Legend... are we talking about longevity or contribution? what about Shaq? I would put his name up there... Kobe? FO SHO!! who else?

	CoolerKing:	Jun 9th, 2010 at 17:55 GMT		2 points
	@ Mojorisin25: Coop would be worthy of having his jersey # retired. So would Byron Scott. As for Shaq, I don't know if he's on good terms with the Lakers organization after his trade to the Heat, but once he retires he's definately someone that should be honored.

	Suekoff16:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 21:29 GMT		4 points
	for Kobe do they retire #8, #24 or do a split banner #8/#24?

	PK9:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 03:05 GMT		-2 points
	@Mojorison25, @CoolerKing. This is the Lakers. We only retire your number if you make the HOF.

	How Vlade Divac isn't on here I have no idea.

	hollabackitsobi:	May 27th, 2011 at 13:40 GMT		2 points
	I always found it extremely strange that the Lakers retired Chamberlain's number (when he was more of a Warrior/76er than a Laker) and even Goodrich/Worthy's and not Mikan's.
