Interesting idea for the NBA to do it league wide similar to what


MLB did for Jackie Robinson and what the NHL did for Wayne Gretzky. Since I am neutral on the matter, I do wonder if Kobe had the same impact on basketball as the two men did on their respective sports? Also, I can't help but think of all the NBA legends that came before him. Should the NBA retire their numbers as well? If not, then what makes Kobe "different" than say Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, Dr. J, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robinson, or any legends before Kobe? What about any legend that plays the game after Kobe?
