Should the NBA retire the number 23 for Micheal Jordan like the NHL did for Wayne Gretzky?

I think they should. Lebron wouldn't have to change his number, he would be grandfathered in. Just like what they did with Jackie Robinson's number.Players who currently wear the number until they retire, but incoming players could not get the number nor could you change your number to it..

Yes, they should retire 23 right now (today after he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame).

Everybody sayn Kobe's better than Jordan; LeBron's better than Jordan, must not have been watching much of ESPN classic the past few days. You watchthose games and the intensity and gameplay is at a completely different level than what we see in the NBA today. Other than the Bulls/Celtics 2009 playoffsseries, there hasn't been that much heart and true team basketball gameplay in the NBA since the 90s. The way Jordan went out against some of the greatestof all time like Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Isiah, and Magic, just to name a few, back then is much more important than lookin at Kobe breakin scoring recordsagainst the Knicks now. The game is all about flash. A dude goes to the lane, the defense moves so they can watch what kind of dunk he's gonna throw down.With LeBron it's a one man show, he touches the ball he's goin to the basket. How do you stop that? Stand in front of him, I don't care how big heis a charge counts just the same now as it did back then. Jordan will always be at another level compared to these guys. Don't get me wrong Kobe n LeBronesepcially are the best in the game today, but Jordan's always gonna have that slight edge over anybody. So before you start talkn bout how they'rebetter try thrown in a tape of some of his old games stop just watchin the highlights.
