The Heat have three retired jersey numbers: the number 33 jersey worn by Alonzo Mourning, the number 10 jersey worn by Tim Hardaway and the number 23 jersey worn by Michael Jordan, who has never played for the Heat. The Heat retired Jordan's number 23 jersey in April 2003 to honor Jordan's achievements and contributions in basketball.[21] The Heat is the only NBA team other than the Chicago Bulls to have retired the number 23 jersey in honor of Jordan.[22] Mourning had his number 33 jersey retired in March 2009, a year after he retired.[23] Hardaway, who played six seasons with the Heat, had his number 10 jersey retired in October 2009.[24]
