NBA Number 71

To find the top players in NBA history that wore a particular number we must first look to the Hall of Fame to see which of the enshrined have played with this particular number. Sadly there have been only a handful of players that have actually worn the Number 71 on  a game day. They are:

  • McCoy McLemore
  • Willie Naulls
  • Dennis Schröder
  • Bob Wiesenhahn

Each of these men wore the Number 71 for at least a portion of one season. McLemore and Naulls both donned it for the same team, the San Francisco Warriors in the min-1960s. Schroder put the digits of 71 for the Boston Celtics in 2022, and Mr Wiesenhahn registered at the scorer's table with this jersey number in 1962 as a member of the Cincinnati Royals.
