Honestly though, I love Dyess but if he gets a ring this ring then I believe it will be so fitting for him to retire that way, almost like with D-Rob.

Buck Harvey: Lesson of Dice: Not about luck
Posted on January 14, 2011 at 11:46 pm by Buck Harvey on Sports in Antonio McDyess
With 43 seconds to go, with the game long ago decided, Antonio McDyess acted like someone who wanted to meet Dirk Nowitzki’s orthopedist. McDyess stumbled a half-dozen rows into the stands in pursuit of a loose ball.
“That was scary,” McDyess said later, and he smiled.
McDyess knows what can go wrong even when everything appears to be perfect in January. But he also knows this doesn’t always have to do with health or with luck.
His Pistons, of five years ago, taught him that.
The previous NBA team to start a season faster than these Spurs is Detroit in 2005-06. They had lost to the Spurs in the previous Finals, and they played the next season as if every game was a Game 7. They routed the Spurs twice in rematches in that early stretch.
Old creaky knees McMummy. I never understand how people down him for being old when he still, after all the injuries, has more hops than a lot of the guys in the league.
Win it this year Spurs.
And maybe next year too?

‘Old Man Dice’ rethinking retirement plan
At 36, the Spurs’ eldest statesman has been playing so well, and feeling so spry, he has lately begun to reconsider retirement.
“If I could play here another year,” McDyess said, “I would definitely contemplate it.”

(All depending on the new CBA, of course)
dice is boss. but he has to retire if his body is retiring
If he retires, so be it. The guy deserves to do what the hell he wants after the great play he has provided the Spurs these last couple of years. Ive got alot of respect for guys like McDyess and Kurt Thomas and Kevin Willis who are great team guys.
His body seems to be ok with playing for the Spurs:Quote:

After skying for those dunks last night it seems there is plenty of mileage left in Antonio's tank.
That would be SO sweet. He is doing a wonderful job and he immediately became one of my favorite Spurs by the time he joined us.Quote:

Sounds like he's going all-out this year. He's hanging it up, folks...
I mean, this 36-year old man is JUMPING EVERYWHERE!
my nigga......:hat
:toast
My only regret is that he did not become a spur earlier. He's so damn good. Love that guys hustle and heart
Please rethink it again Antonio and stay 1 more year.
Retirement means we can't watch him again in basketball after this year, that's a terrible thing.
Just put on new tires and let's go another year Mac.
And all he did was not some Sportscenter bling, look-at-me play, but crash the boards, get in position, time his jump.
SIX offensive rebounds for the old man including two on the last possession.
