Create history! Jarin Williams wears No. 6 in the new season and becomes the last No. 6 player in NBA history

On October 4, there are 18 days left before the start of the new NBA regular season. In the new season, Thunder star Jerry Williams will continue to wear the No. 6 jersey, and he will also become the last player in NBA history to wear the No. 6 jersey!

In order to commemorate the late Celtic legend Bill Russell, the NBA League decided to retire the No. 6 jersey in the summer of 2022. Bill Russell has made great contributions to promoting the development of the NBA. He has won a total of 11 NBA championships throughout his NBA career, was elected as the regular season MVP 5 times, rebounding 4 times, and was selected into the All-Star lineup 12 times. In addition, the NBA Finals MVP trophy was also named the "Bill Russell Award"!

However, in order to show respect for active players, although the NBA retired the No. 6 jersey in 2022, active players who are still wearing this number are allowed to continue to use it unless they retire or change teams. Before the start of the new season, with DeAndre Jordan deciding not to compete in the NBA, only Thunder player Jerry Williams is left alone in the league.

Jerling Williams said to this: "I am honored that I know that the No. 6 jersey was retired for the great Bill Russell, and this number was chosen by my father for me."

So, Jerling Williams wrote his history in this way. Jarin Williams is 23 years old. He entered the NBA with the fourth pick in the second round of the 2022 draft and won his first championship in his career last season with the Thunder. In last season, he played a total of 47 regular season games, averaging 16.7 minutes per game, scoring 5.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks, shooting percentage of 43.9% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.9%.
