You should've asked will they retire his jersey. Cause they will for sure. They shouldn't though
No
Yes
He is very likely going to retire as a spur with 2 finals appearances and a championship.
avery jersey is retired.

No. He will retire a spur but not have a jersey hung up. Probably will transition to the coaching staff.
I can see them doing it. Even players that been here for five minutes are getting tribute videos.
I don't see why not. Bruce Bowen did, so why not Patty Mills or even the guy that works the hot dog concession stand in the arena?
The bar seems to be set pretty low down in Fat Antonio.
No...bruce bosen contributed significantly to multiple championships ...we could have not had patty on the team in 2014 and no one would have noticed...he isnt even a great roleplayer...bruce was elite in his role...his name was known all over the nba as the guy who is gonna male u have a long night...no ome knows nor cares about patty mills outside of his household...even spurs fans hate him...we loved bruce up until retirement...no comparison
Don't you get enough attention at home? Oh and OP is a got.
Bruce Bowen was an All NBA defender for years.
He did much more than Patty on the floor even though the PPG stat casuals love does not depict that.
As for AJ, he was huge in the community in South Texas for the Spurs for years with Pop ( moreso than any other Spur in 90s). He was also a much better player than Patty.
Patty doesnt deserve it.
Lousy troll is lousy tbh
Statue.
With coffee cup in hand?
Lulz.
Pop loves him some Patty but Aldridge has a better chance of seeing his jersey in the rafters and that ain’t happening either.
No, although I like him and appreciate his contributions to the team. There are others who have had a greater impact who shouldn’t have their jerseys retired.
retire op tbh
I think he's deserving tbh, he'll likely finish with more than 1100 3's, 650 games as a Spur and would be one of only a handful of players to play 10 years for the Spurs.
Also was key in helping us close out the Heat in 2014.
If he makes the all-star team this year that'll be 4 appearances in 5 years with the Spurs. 2nd highest scoring game in team history too. This is jersey retirement not the hall of fame, he'll probably get #12 retired.
Might as well retire matt Bonners jersey. it. Let's get Vinny del negro up there too.
He was a key part of the Beautiful Game season, but has he had a moment that stuck out as a Spur? I kind of feel like you have to have at least a defining moment to get your jersey retired if you were not a superstar for that franchise.
And? This is a historically great franchise, so the standards for this honor should reflect that. He shouldn't even receive considering, but I wouldn't put it past them to retire it.
I wouldn't even retire Aldridge's jersey. Let irrelevant, wannabe franchises have mediocre-low standards.
Every franchise in the big 4 should have a Ring of Honor, so that these types (this is where Moore, Silas, Elliott, Johnson, Bowen should reside too) can receive some sort of honor, but not the top one. That should either be reserved for greatness or some sort of sentiment, like DeRozan to the Raptors (the one prominent player who wanted to stay).
Meh, I'm fine with Aldridge, Mills, and Green having their jersey's retired. Its more about honoring the player who has contributed to the success of the franchise in a significant way. It doesn't mean they contributed as much as Duncan, Manu, Parker, Robinson, and Gervin because they have received the same honor, but still contributed nonetheless.
OP wit da goods per par.
After the Big 3, I wouldn’t retire anyone else’s even Danny who I still love as a player. Having a low standard as Patty just makes it too unnecessary and you might as well put 5 other guys up there with him. Only Nephew would have deserved it next but we know how that story ended.
LaMarcus definitely does not deserve it. He doesn’t even want to finish his career here. Why should the organization cater to him and his ty body language on the floor? I’ll be annoyed if he gets his jersey retired. 12 was always Bruce’s number. I’ll always vouch for Bowen cause he was just as important as the big 3 were in those le runs.
As long as Bonner's jersey isn't retired, which would be a major slap in the face, tbh.
