The league is not only retiring Russell\'s number, but also plans to honor the five-time MVP by having a commemorative patch emblazoned on the right shoulder of the teams\' jerseys, while all courts will display a clover-shaped logo with the No. 6 on the sideline near the scorer\'s table.

联盟不仅将拉塞尔的号码退役，还计划在球队球衣的右肩上装饰一块纪念补丁，以纪念这位五届最有价值球员，而所有球场都将在得分台附近的边线上展示一个三叶草形状的标志，在它的旁边还有6号字样。

Russell is the most successful player in NBA history and was the first Black head coach in the league.
