NBA, NBPA announce league will permanently retire No. 6 in honor of Bill Russell

The NBA and National Basketball Players Association on Thursday announced they have permanently retired Bill Russell's No. 6 throughout the league to “honor the life and legacy of 11-time NBA champion and civil rights pioneer,” both sides said in a news release.

The number "6" will forever belong to Bill Russell in the NBA. The league and the NBPA agreed to permanently retire Russell's No. 6 across the NBA. It's the first time a player's number has been retired across the league.

Commissioner Adam Silver said the move will ensure Russell's "transcendent career will always be recognized."
