Pauley Pavilion - Retired Numbers

Retired Numbers

Further information: UCLA Bruins men's basketball retired numbers

The retired numbers of UCLA men's and women's basketball players are displayed in the rafters of Pauley Pavilion. On February 3, 1990, the first four UCLA basketball player jersey numbers were retired. This was the key moment in the "Pauley at 25" celebration of the first twenty-five years of the arena. The primary criteria for being chosen was that all four players were three-time All-Americans.

The initial honorees were:

  • Ann Meyers #15
  • Denise Curry #12
  • Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (played under his original name of Lew Alcindor) #33
  • Bill Walton #32

Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or numbers:

    “If you want an expert on war, you get a retired general. I’m not exactly a general, but I am retired.”
    —Sydney Biddle Barrows (b. 1952)

    “Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
    Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
    My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
    Her classics registered a little flat!
    I rose, and venomously spat.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
