Although the statement - "Famous Athletes" is subjective a few that I think deserve mention. Feel free to add.
Baseball
Stan Musial - St Louis Cardinals
Steve Garvey- LA Dodgers/San Diego Padres
Al Kaline - Detroit Tigers
Tony Oliva - Minnesota Twins
* Micky Mantle wore #6 during his rookie season but felt to much pressure to follow Ruth #3, Gehrig #4, & DiMaggio #5. He was sent down and when he was recalled from the minors later in the season he switched to the #7.
Basketball
Bill Russell - Boston Celtics
Julius Irving (Dr. J) - Philadelphia 76ers
Walter Davis - Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, & Portland Trailblazers
Hockey/Football
N/A (Although it could be argued, I don't think anyone that wore/wears the #6 would be considered "Famous.")

Lionel Messi was the famous soccer player who has worn the number 30. He wore the jersey with 30 on it in his earlier years with Barca.
The number 84 is not a particularly common shirt number. No player who is particularly famous has ever worn it.
