Denver (KDVR)-Since 2003, it was a pleasure for the Denver Nuggets, watching a 15-shirt player at the Pepsi Center at the time, and now Ball Arena.
The only problem – 15 players were worn during that time, and worse, they can be said that they are the best players in history.
Players of notes are the Nuggets Carmelo Anthony and the current star Nicola Jokić, who share the elite talent for sports and close number 15.
For Anthony, that talent led him to a nomination for the Hall of Celebrities of Basketball as part of the 2025 category. The American Professional League star Dwight Howard, the legendary WNBA players Sue Bird, Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles, joined him, among others.
While Anthony’s nomination will be celebrated by the franchise and admirers alike, he has let people ask one question: Will Anthony get his 15 shirt he retired by Nags?
During his time with the team, Anthony became a group of the American Professional League, 2x All NBA, the first team NBA All-Rokie and led Nuggets to seven consecutive matches, which included a separate match to The Western Conference in 2009 when the team faced against Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony to move forward in Vate, Great Great Bryant.
In most of the scenarios, his shirt was flying in Mach 9 to the beams. However, this is not most of the scenarios.
Jokić, a candidate to be the first ball hall, is still an active player and wears the same number of shirt that Anthony made famous in Denver.
So, what do they do?
There are no brief rules on how to retire the difference. For example, Bryant’s Jersey no. 8 and number 24 at the same time, where he was wearing one and changed to the middle of the road during his career.
There are already a few other American professional league teams that faced this delicate problem, including:
- Portland Trailblazers, No. 30 – Bobby Gross, Terry Porter
- New York Nix, No. 15 – Earl Monroe, Dick McGeroire
The retirement of the Anthony shirt has not been confirmed, but history indicates that Gokic wears the number may not affect the privilege decision.
Anthony has finished his career in the NBA All-Star 10x team, 6X All NBA, the 75th anniversary team in the American Professional League, the top scorer in history, 3x Gold, 1 x The Bronze Olympic Medal and NCAA champion as a new student.
