I say
1. no
2. yes
3. yes
Agreed on all your answers.
#1 has more to do with Cs financial situation (trade) and JB's desire to keep reaching new heights and challenging himself (ask for a trade or leave in FA).
Agreed. When the going gets rough here, I think he's somewhat likely to get going. Totally open to being proved wrong.
Set your alarms for some time in 2040 for threads arguing that Jaylen doesn't "really" deserve his # going in the rafters and ofc how he might have been elected to and inducted into the HOF but he's not really a HOFer.
I say all of this fully aware of his warts. He drives me bananas sometimes. But he's one of the 24 best players in the league and please don't you dare start making The List of them!!
I miss BCGM's list of injured and retired players who were all better than JB.
Had I met him with those shoes and he said he’d sign something it would have been them or the jersey! Paper is cool if that’s all you have, but it’s easier to get wet, torn, thrown away or lost. Guess you wouldn’t see it on those, but I would have had a gold/silver marker with me just in case! I was young when I met Shaq and my auntie stole the card. She said she still has it, but hasn’t given it to me like she said she would. Gave me the dang plushie though. We got beef so I’ll never see it.
