Part two of an in-depth look at the NBA players who have had their jersey numbers retired, as well as notable omissions and future candidates, in the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast, with special guest Reinis Lacis of The Handle.

We talk about whether Carmelo Anthony might get his jersey retired by the Nuggets, Carroll Dawson's contributions to the Rockets, the Thunder not yet giving out any retired Sonics numbers and how they might handle a future jersey retirement, Nate Thurmond and Bingo Smith's runs with the Cavs, the Bucks' somewhat odd inconsistencies in their number retirements, Johnny Moore's years with the Spurs, the Knicks overlooking most of their 1950s stars, "Dr. Dunkenstein" Darrell Griffith leading the Jazz to respectability before the Stockton/Malone era, why the Sixers still haven't raised Moses Malone's No. 2, the Kings handling their history in many cities very effectively, the Blazers honoring nearly everyone from their 1977 title team, the Pistons leaving out Fort Wayne, the Suns' Ring of Honor, the Lakers honoring their Minneapolis years, and the Celtics maybe running out of numbers.
