Good. It's a number. I think it's a sign of a massive ego to be a former player and tell a new player, "You can't wear my number. That was MY number."

Boo-Hoo. You don't play anymore. You don't wear a jersey. Let it go.

Yes, certain exceptions apply (21). But if the only reason you want to "retire" a number is because you were "such an amazing player nobody should ever be allowed to wear that number again".... ? Give me a break.
