Number For Oberto

[Carlos869]

Hi. This is my first post in this forum an english is my second language.
Please forgeve me my mistakes.

I Have a question:

Is Number 7 Retired or it can be used?

Oberto was identified with number 7 and 14 during his career.
Now, 14 belong to Beno, so the choice could be 7?

Bye.

The only "retired" numbers for the Spurs are 44 (George Gervin), 00 (Johnny Moore), 13 (James Silas), 50 (David Robinson), and 32 (Sean Elliott).

Thanks Pache.

Welcome to the board Carlos

There are the retired numbers that pache100 mentioned (00, 13, 32, 44, and 50) and then there are the unretired "forbidden fruit" numbers: number 6, as Manu found out.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Didn't JR Reid wear 7 while he was with the Spurs? That's sacred!

Not to mention # 31, which Nazr wisely chose not to ask for.

[ducks]

I dare him to take 6

[ducks]

I double dare him to talk rose's number

[CubanMustGo]

The answer is obvious:

0

AJ wasnt good enough (still isnt and will never be) to carry Manu's jock. But cause Don carries AJ's jock in his mouth and always will, no body will ever wear 6 for the Spurs again.

[clubalien]

anyone know if # 21 will get retired I want to put some vbookie that the number will be retired

[Solid D]

If you consider what AJ did for the #6....
and compare it.....
with what Manu has done in 3 years for the #20

As much as I love AJ, #20 is already 10X more of a "lock" to be hanging in the SBC Center rafters than #6.

[whottt]

Well said Solid...

Oberto should ask for #6.

[SequSpur]

Solid finally has a take.

I agree.

Even Parker has done more than #6....

Hell, Horry too.

Hell, even Muhammed......

Hell, Bowen too....

What about that shot Barry hit??? hell... him too......

What about Rasho.... uh..... nope.

Retire all of them....... Hell yeah.

[clubalien]

why hasn't the coyatoes number been retired!

[Solid D]

Solid finally has a take.


:lol
Are you trying to get back at me because I said Rasho wouldn't have called in sick today.

[usckk]

He should take 69 ;)

Amen, Solid.

Hey while we're at it...

vBookie on Oberto's future number??? I'm jonesen for some virtual action.

[TDMVPDPOY]

he should take #6 imo, he be 6, parker be 9

[BruceBowenFan]

probably like 30

[Willinsa]

only cause jackass Don Hairless cried like a little bitch. AJ wasnt good enough (still isnt and will never be) to carry Manu's jock. But cause Don carries AJ's jock in his mouth and always will, no body will ever wear 6 for the Spurs again.

I think Don Hairless is Avery's bitch.

[Mr. Body]

I'd be okay if #6 was 'unofficially retired.' But there's no reason to actually do it, just never give it out again.

From the current crew, I see four retired numbers, when all is said and done:

Parker
Ginobili
Duncan
and
Bowen

Ginobili and Duncan are locks at this point, Parker is a near-lock, projected forward a few years. And I think Bowen has to be there in the end. I'd be disappointed if he wasn't.

[gospursgojas]

But Ginobili will probally tell him..."hey if I cant wear #6 you cant"

[drivanroca]

And I think Bowen has to be there in the end. I'd be disappointed if he wasn't.

Yep.
:king

[Solid D]

I guess #7 for Oberto. Here are the other Spurs who have worn 7:

Forrest McKenzie - 1986-87
Calvin Natt - 1988-89
Pete Myers - 1990-91
J.R. Reid - 1992-93 thru 1995-96
Carl Herrera - 1996-97 thru 1997-98
Anthony Carter - 2003-04

[pdgaman12]

oberto should not have any problem getting no. 7
