Retired numbers

The Boston Celtics, with 23 honored individuals. That includes jersey numbers for Robert Parish, Walter Brown, Arnold "Red" Auerbach, Dennis Johnson, Bill Russell, Jo Jo White, Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn, Tom "Satch" Sanders, John Havlicek, Dave Cowens, Don Nelson, Bill Sharman, Ed Macauley, Frank Ramsay, Sam Jones, K.C. Jones, Cedric Maxwell, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird and Reggie Lewis; a microphone in honor of legendary broadcaster Johnny Most; and the letters "LOSCY" for Jim Loscutoff.

4. The "LOSCY" banner has hung in Boston in honor of Loscutoff, who declined to have his jersey number retired so that a future Celtic player could wear it. The jersey number was in fact later used and then retired in honor of another Boston superstar. Name Loscutoff's jersey number and the player who later wore it and had it retired.

No. 18 — Dave Cowens.

5. Two jersey numbers are the most commonly retired numbers in the NBA, each having been honored by seven different franchises. Name the two numbers.

Nos. 22 and 32.

6. Only one former player has had his jersey retired by three different franchises. Name the player and the three franchises.

Wilt Chamberlain had his No. 13 retired by the Los Angeles Lakers, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors.

7. When the New Orleans Hornets retired No. 7 in honor of Pete Maravich, they were honoring a player who starred earlier in their hometown — but who played for a different franchise (the New Orleans/Utah Jazz). One player had his number retired by a franchise despite never playing for that franchise nor any other franchise with ties to that city. Name the player, the jersey number and the city.

In April 2003, Miami retired No. 23 in honor of NBA superstar Michael Jordan, who played for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards. It is the only number the Heat have retired so far.
