Will the Spurs retire the Big 3 Jerseys at the end of their careers

[Lakers999]

Tony still has a ways to go if he stays with the spurs but what about timmy and manu?

[braeden0613]

Without a doubt

[Chieflion]

Timmy will be there regardless whether he gets traded or not. If Manu stays as a Spur, his jersey will be retired. As for Parker, Finals MVP gets him the nod automatically.

21, 20, 9, and 12 will all go up when it's all said and done.

And I'm glad I could watch them.

[MI21]

What do you mean that Tony still has a ways to go? Is it a ways to go untill his jersey is worthy of retirement or ways to go in his career?

If Tony retired now his jersey would get retired, as would Timmy, Manu and Bruce.

same.

[TMTTRIO]

Tim and Tony will be up there for sure. I think Bruce should be up there also. As for Manu it just depends on what happens and if he even ends his career here.

i think the question should be "will the big three make the HOF" lakers999... TD is assured, manu and parker have ways to go.

[duncan228]

I think all 4 go up too. Duncan is a definite, Parker and Manu and Bowen have been big parts of 3 Titles. I think they're all deserving.

Bruce deserves it, but Parker... ... :wakeup

I think if Manu quit today he would make it based on his overall international play and success.

[MI21]

TD is assured, manu and parker have ways to go.

Parker has been playing with the Spurs since 2001, is a Finals MVP, 2 time All-Star, the second best player on 2 out of the 3 championships he has been involved in and has led the team in scoring. He is going to have his number retired.

As for Manu, his achievements speak for themselves as well. It's almost impossible to even think his jersey would not get retired.

keep this in mind: the spurs retired avery johnson's jersey. manu and tony has certainly done more for the success of this ball club than johnson.

[Cane]

TD, TP, Ginobili, and Bowen without a doubt.


How about JV though?

[sonic21]

Horry?

[m33p0]

TD, TP, Ginobili, and Bowen without a doubt.


How about JV though?
nothing personal against JV but no. he was just subbing the players he was supposed to sub. again, nothing personal.

[tp2021]

TD, TP, Ginobili, and Bowen without a doubt.


How about JV though?

Why?

Manu is a mortal lock for the HOF. Remember, it isn't the NBA HOF it's the Basketball HOF. There are guys (and gals!) in the HOF who have never played an NBA minute. The player with the most similar career to Manu in terms of Euroleague dominance, FIBA play and NBA numbers is Drazen Petrovic.

Petrovic - Euroleague champion, WC Gold, Olympic Silver, 3rd team All NBA
Manu - Euroleague champion, Olympic Gold, WC Silver, 3rd team All NBA

Petrovic in the NBA
290 games 15.4p 2.4a 2.3r .506 FG% .437 3G% .841 FT%

Manu in the NBA
465 games 14.7p 3.6a 4.0r .454 FG% .379 3G% .817 FT%

the big 3 are obvious, and Bowen should definitely go up in the rafters as well..I'd also consider Robert Horry if he returned this year and retired as a Spur..
