I figured to not beat around the bush! Here is the answer directly from the celtics official homepage. It is hosted by nba.com and can be found using the following link: http://www.nba.com/celtics/history/RetiredNumbers.html Jim Loscutoff "Loscy" was a hard-nosed standout for the Celtics, playing all nine NBA seasons with the Green and White...Helped lead the Celtics to seven NBA world championship titles, including six straight from 1958 through 1963-64...Had, perhaps, his best season in 1956-57 in helping lead the Celtics to their first title, by averaging 10.6 points and 10.4 rebounds per game...He asked that his jersey number (#18) not be retired so that a future Celtic could wear it - the number 18 was later retired in honor of Dave Cowens.
Mariano Rivera is the current player and will be the last player on the Yankees to wear number 42. The number was retired throughout baseball in honor of Jackie Robinson. The players who were wearing that number when it was retired were allowed to keep it.
Unless a current player already wearing the number; if a number is retired by the franchise, no player in that franchise can wear that jersey number and if the jersey number is retired by the league no one can wear that number again in the league. for example, no one in MLB can wear 42 because of Jackie Robinson except Mariano Rivera because he already wore the number before it was retired.
Defensive tackle Ernie Stautner had his #70retired by the Steelers. That has been the only number they have retired.
