Lakers’ LeBron James Will Have Jersey Retired After HOF Induction, Jeanie Buss Says



Asked if the Lakers would consider retiring both of James’ numbers, Buss simply said it’s “a discussion for another time.”

    Arguably the greatest player of all time put on a Lakers jersey and helped bring the franchise back to the top to tie Boston. Also broke the scoring record in a Lakers jersey.

    I don’t see how anyone would be opposed to this

  2. High-ly_Questionable

    Needs more than 1 championship in a Laker jersey.

    Of course. It was never really a question after 2020.

    Glad this got addressed. Hopefully now we don’t talk about it every other week.

    This was Jeanie’s first big splash, she’s not gonna NOT pat herself on the back and retire his (and likely ADs) jersey.

    Any rebuttal is just gatekeeping for something that isn’t our decision lol

    Arguably the greatest player of all time to put on a Lakers jersey, but not the greatest Laker of all time. 😉

    Lebron deserves all the accolades and flowers he is going to get after all is said and done. His jersey will be up there in the rafters with the other Laker greats for sure.

    Hasnt done enough imo but it was inevitable from the day we signed him.

    edit. i really dont care about you gen z fans that are gonna move on as soon as bron retires.

    Well deserved. If he wins us one more, statue talk may be a valid conversation.

    Even more motivation for LeBron to work hard to qualify for the Hall. Fingers crossed!

    Bold to assume he’s a HOF caliber player /s

    Nah. Foh, laker rafters require more than that. Win a second one and we’ll talk.

    multiple all star appearances/selections, all nba selections, finals MVP, etc. Very much not a surprise. Players have gotten retired jerseys for much less

  12. majavic

    Three different cities

    Finals MVP in each city

    Three different jersey retirements

    Easily the greatest player of all time.

  13. Has anyone ever won FMVP for a team and not gotten their jersey retired?

  14. disbmaifobnam3

    If they only retire 6 it would’ve been by default anyways.

    I just remember lakers after Kobe, and I thank lebron I don’t have to watch that basketball again 😭
