....would love your input, Dale

Don't know who the middle guy is, but the other two are easily the most overrated players in each respective sport of the last 20 years. So their "I'm retiring later so come glorify me all season" shit doesn't surprise me.

Thanks for the info man. :tu

Kobe is an embarrassment to the league but it makes for good Media. The Farewell Tour is the perfect blanket.

I was hoping Thread would contribute to this list. He keeps saying "quite a few" but that implies more than 3. I only count 3.

Dale?

[Jenks]

What does "played while retired" mean, announced their retirement ahead of time?

Didn't Kareem do the same thing?

Oh yeah, Kareem was ready for the glue factory his last year.

I don't remember much about how he was playing. Just that he announced it would be his last year and had a pretty big farewell sendoff. Some city presented him a motorcycle at the game iirc.

But he won a championship and was pivotal that year. And even Kareem, he helped lead the Lakers to the NBA Championship and win two championships the two previous years.

Its not like these guys were shooting 30%+ and 20% from 3P land and their teams were bottom feeders in the conference. Or like Nash who played like 10-15 games the season he said he was going to retire. He literally did retire at the start of that season. Just collecting that 10mil pay check.

Was about to say David Robinson.

But

Horseshit. Your Robinson did the farewell tour.

ha, ha.

At least they're giving Kobe things he can't use. Everything they gave Robinson could either be sat in, cast out, or, plugged in to get things toasted, cold, or, frozen.

Everything they gave him? Quit while you're ahead next time.

That's horseshit, Jenks. He got a bunch of appliances, clothes, furniture and carpeting like they give out on the quiz shows.

Brett Favre deserves to be on that list.

Yeah you're right, that's better than a ring.

No, this is Kobe's last gift to all of his "fans". The Farewell Tour spares no expense.

[RGMCSE]

Bump.
