The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[ill steelo]

I’m surprised they’re retiring Vince, and right after Chuck & Mac, he was right there for me back in those days.

They only had 1 real playoff run with him, and he gave 1% effort on his way out. Something like 15ppg to 28ppg pre/post the Nets trade. Wild disrespectful

But he was box office. One of the legitimate shows around the league.

Idk

Then explain Ant.

Ant already passed Vince. Explain what?

So Ant is a HOF player already?

This is the type of energy I needed to start my week.

Vince Carter getting two undeserved jersey retirements just shows you the power of being well liked.

He can get fitted for his gold jacket today. Already half as many all NBA selections as Vince in 18 LESS seasons.

What other players do you think benefit from this?

I dont even care for VC, but he put Canada basketball on the map.

VC getting his jersey retired in Toronto was a no brainer. New Jersey is debatable but its nothing to be up in arms over. VC a legend.

The Nets are the most irrelevant franchise the NBA ever created. Even more irrelevant once they moved to Brooklyn.

The only reason they retire anyones # is just to fit in.

Nash means as more.

When I think of the Nets I think of Dr.J and I've never watched that man play a game live for them. That's how irrelevant they are tbh.

Our first jersey retirement will be to a guy who publicly and brazenly disrespected the franchise.....

Have some shame.

Is Vince Carter's Toronto number retirement situation similar to Melo with NY?

Talent was there but always wanted more out of them. Very much 'vibes' guys.

Legend? Well liked by who?

 

[ballinsam23]

Westbrook getting his jersey retired? Another team all vibes candidate.

Is this a series question about him getting his jersey retired?

If OKC is going to retire KD's they have to retire Russ's 0

There’s no “if” about either. What are we doing today

If no one has worn a superstar/multiple all stars jersey # since said star left, they are likely getting their jersey retired.

Except Vince carter

Vince Carter is definitely a legend man. For the dunks alone. And liked among the NBA brass. You don't stay around 22 years and immediately get a broadcasting job without being liked by the right people.
