Antonio McDyess Emotional as Retirement From NBA Looms

Dice is truly one of the nicest and most geniune guys one could ever meet. A real salt-of-the-earth, understated guy. No matter how much his mind and heart still want to play, the body looks to be betraying him. It's the natural progression of an athlete.

Hell, even a weekend athlete gets bummed when he can no longer play the sport he loves. Believe me. So, imagine when you've done it for a living, been paid handsomely and have literally built your life around the sport. It's got to be gut-wrenching.

I truly wish that he had been able to spend a larger portion of his career with the Spurs.

What a Great Player does the dirty work for the team, stuff not record on the stat sheets.

ICE FOR DICE Campaign !!!

Who do we bring in next???

Dice needs to end his career an NBA champion. No homo, but I would probably tear up for him if he did win it all. This guy deserves it.

No. If he retires and rolls off, there is no cap exception for that.

Ring for Dice!!!

Hell yes. I want them to win it so bad I can taste it.

I don't know if there's a classier guy in the league. He's one of the few guys out there you'd still consider a good role model for kids.

I also hope that when the playoffs get here, he lets it all go and plays as hard as his body will let him-not leaving anything out there to look back at and wonder about.

I hope he gets his ring. I know he has not been a Spur long, but it feels as if he has in some ways. Great guy. Wish he could play longer for us.
