And GSW wants to retire Iggy's.

Their call, but think they are going overboard.


On the topic, Collison for OKC? It's been announced. I assume Haslem will get his in Miami too but I don't recall if they've said it.


Ersan is two more broken noses away from having his jersey retired by those examples.

Ashes? What about "taxidermy-ing" the human bodies and creating monuments? Imagine, walking under MJ's legs spread above you in the Jumpman logo pose.

Human taxidermy is a bridge too far. However, Chicago should mothball the Nike statue and replace it with a monumental likeness of the Crying Jordan meme that empties saltwater into a reflective pool. It would provide a serene oasis for visitors to ponder his legacy of throwing long dough at Nic Batum and cultivating facial hair made famous by history's greatest monster. And no, Jerry Krause is not history's greatest monster, thank you very much.

Or the Spurs level, for that matter. Pop has certainly had a "type" post-Big 3.

Bucks have no room to talk about other teams retiring players when we have Brian Winters and Junior Bridgeman in the rafters.

Lol and he was saying Bled was 2nd best regular season player and your bringing up the Raptors series where EVERYONE sucked other than Hill. Go back to the All Star break threads, most of us thought that 2nd spot should have been the Aqua Daggers and not Mids...


i'm well aware of how well Bledsoe played during the season and I expect he will come out strong again and be a very good regular season player for us.. and that has value, but in the end that's not what matters. He wasn't just bad against Toronto, he became unplayable. As I said before, him being on the court made it tougher on guys like Khris and Giannis who now had to deal with double teams as they left Bledsoe wide open.

This whole thing started with the statement that Bledsoe was the 2nd best player on the team.. and maybe that's a dumb thing to argue about because of how fluid things are, but your 2nd best player on the team doesn't get played off the court in the ECF.


Newsflash. There’s very little difference between Middleton, Brogdon, and Bledsoe.


there's a lot of difference in skillsets, but overall, yeah they're in the same tier.

Kinda serves the organization right for upsetting the Old Spurs Gods by signing a Morris brother.

He'll probably get more but I'd take Livingston on a vet min.

Livingston is awesome. I don't think he offers much anymore. We need dudes who can shoot it a bit.

Seriously. Can’t wait for the coaches to have 3 challenges per half.
