Hey, Lakers haven't retired Mikan's #?

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

What's going on here? "Mr. Basketball" won 5 of those Lakers championships. Is there a connection or not?

U must be a Celtics Stan listening to Bill Simmons. The Celtics 11 championships in the 50s/60s are all fraudulent as there were only 8 teams and most of the players were white who had side jobs as plumbers and teachers

NOT THE NUMBER BECAUSE WE ONLY RETIRE LA NUMBERS, BUT HES HONORED UP THERE WIT THE REST OF THE HOF

Mikan is the only Laker in their history to wear #99. How do I know more about Lakers history than you?

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WIT WHAT I SAID?

IF SOMEONE WANTED TO WEAR 99, THEY COULD

IF THEY RETIRED MIKAN THEN THEY GOTA RETIRE ALL THE MPLS HALL OF FAMERS, WHICH WOULD BECOME A PROBLEM

He was the best player, why would they have to retire everyone else? He won more championships for the Lakers than a lot of guys who have their number retired.

If Celtics players also had side jobs, traveled coach and stayed in motels and had to eat junk while on the road on top of playing in sandals I'd say those championships definitely count.
