Unexpectedly, the league did so.

With the league officials announcing the news, Russell also became the first player in NBA history whose personal jersey number was retired by the entire league. The 30 teams had no objection to this decision, and all chose to support it. After all, Russell’s achievements are worthy of this honor.
All 30 teams have retired the No. 6 NBA jersey. Does that mean that the players who previously wore the No. 6 jersey have to change their numbers? The league also responded, and will not make a mandatory requirement, and can still continue to wear No. 6. Among them, the most concerned is the Lakers star James. He should wear the No. 6 jersey from No. 23 last season. It is unclear whether he will change his number again. In addition to Lao Zhan, there are many players in the league wearing the No. 6 jersey, such as Porzingis, Caruso, Lu Wei and other players.
