All of them wore No.32 except for the NBA MVP - Bill Russell wore No.6. (Little glitch in the info - found one place where it was claimed that the NBA award in '63 went to Elgin Baylor who did wear No.32.)

Elgin Baylor wore No. 22 his entire pro career (1958-1971) and that number was retired by the Lakers.

This is an old saloon trivia question that always gets muddled. Jim Brown, Cookie Gilchrist, Elston Howard and Sandy Koufax all wore #32 and won MVP's in 1963. Bill Russell won the NBA MVP but wore #6 but Jerry Lucas the NBA ROY wore #32.

Only three of the four MVPs in 1963 wore number 32, Sandy Koufax, Elston Howard, and Jim Brown. The fourth MVP wasn't Cookie Gilchrist of the Bills, but Clem Daniels of the Raiders and he wore number 36.
