What's this?

According to Google


How do you define what makes a person a champion?
For players in the NBA, it is quite simple: be part of a team that wins an NBA championship.
Throughout the history of the league, it is considered rather customary that every single player on the championship team is credited with being a champion. Even the 12th man gets a ring and the pride that comes with the greatest victory.

For me, the perfect definition of a player qualified to be a champion is, “Any player whose ultimate goal was contributing to the team’s success in multiple games during a season in which the team wins a championship.”
What I forgot was that he retired after 9 games the same season the Lakers won. 50 years ago?
