For me, getting your number retired is the greatest accomplishment. There is no accolade with more significance that you can receive from an organization or school. Whether it was my four years at Central Arkansas or all my seasons with the Bulls in Chicago, it's a sign of respect for what I have done.

I remember the night in December 2005 when the Bulls retired my number and will never, ever forget it.

Defensive awards and accolades aside, to have your jersey retired puts you in a position where you'll be known forever.
