Hmmm

Well congrats Peja, thank you for the memories.

I would not have retired it as the owner however.

well I like this honestly.
Too bad his neck and back didnt give him a longer career. After his near MVP 2004 season he started to fall down to injuries, sadly, as most of the Kings did by then.

Well deserved, in my opinion. His number belongs up there with Webber and Divac.

I guess you can make argument for the what he brought internationally to the Kings and the NBA, but for his on court performance? No way. He was a role player, not the main guy and/or the heart and soul of the team like Mitch, Webber, and Divac were. I'm not entirely opposed, and it's not the worst retirement ever (Jeff Hornacek and Nate McMillan have had their jerseys retired), but it does kind of diminish what the other guys in our rafters did if you ask me.

Is it too obvious to ask if this is a publicity stunt?
