NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan now has company.
For the longest, Jordan was the only player to have his jersey hanging in the rafters at another team's arena. Now, legend Bill Russell has the distinction.
On Saturday, the Golden State Warriors held a ceremony before their game against the Boston Celtics. Russell's Celtics' No. 6 jersey will hang at Chase Center in San Francisco just like Jordan's Chicago Bulls No. 3 does in Miami.
Russell, who passed away earlier this year, is considered among the league's greatest players. He won 11 championships with the Celtics.
Miami Heat team president Pat Riley had Jordan's jersey retired in 2003 as a show of respect. Jordan is widely considered the greatest player in NBA history, leading the Bulls to championships in all six of his Finals appearances.
