He tried but retiring was the right decision...

After 16 seasons, Antonio McDyess plays his final NBA game, says, "I'm pretty definite about that." One of the classiest NBA players ever.
Thank you Antonio McDyess for being such a class act and coming to San Antonio. We enjoyed seeing you in a Spurs uniform, and sorry we could not deliver you a championship here.
He tried but retiring was the right decision...
Damn....
Thank you Dyess, sorry you couldn't finish off your career with a ring.
Still a big Dice fan. He played well this year.
Surprised me a lot in last year's playoffs in the 1st round with his energy and the defense he played on Dirk. Feel for him just like I did Grant Hill after the injuries took away from his career, but he was solid.
Thank you antonio.
A joy to have as a Spur... wish we could have gotten him a little earlier... but he left it all he had out there... thanks a lot, Dice...
Thanks Dice. Wish he got here a little earlier.
Huge thanks to Dice who had some really great moments for us, and was a warrior for the Pistons too, not to mention his high-flying game before the knee issues.
Glad to say that I championed his cause two years ago when almost everyone else was clamouring for Sheed, and he turned out to be a valuable Spur.
Enjoy your rest, old man.
can the spurs still trade his contract? he's partially guaranteed next season.
Thank you Dice.
Thanks Dice. Wish we could have got you a ring. Loved your fire in this series, wish it would have carried over to the other guys on the team.
Perhaps the saddest aspect of the first round loss is McDyess didn't have a fair chance to try to win a championship
Will always be a favorite of mine.
I have been a big fan of Dice since his early days in Denver; he was Amare Stoudemire plus rebounding and defense before the injuries. He has always been someone I wanted on this team, from his early days flushing on everyone in sight, to his days knocking down that jumper and playing great defense in Detroit's repeat bid. I hate seeing him have to end his career in such a bitter loss, and will never forget the way he guarded Dirk and how he was such a major part of pulling off the upset vs Dallas last season. I'm so glad Dice was able to battle back from those devastating knee injuries in the early 2000s.
Thanks Dice. Had you gotten hear earlier you would be carrying some hardware. When players try to retire their way to a ring, that's often not productive.
Worst part about losing.
hate to see him go
If Tim Duncan would have played with the intensity and fire of Dice tonight he would have logged a 25/20 game
Good bye Dice.
Couple of quotes.

Mike Monroe
...“This was my last game,” the 16-year veteran said. “I’m pretty definite on that. But this was not the way I wanted it to end.”
...“I couldn’t have played any better D,” he said. “I keep running it back in my head and I don’t think I could have done different. He hit some really freaking tough shots. I didn’t think there was any way they could go in and I’d look up and he’d made them.
“To see that happen, when you had ground and played as tough a defense as you could, it hurts. At the same time, if he’s going to make those types of shots with the type of defense I played, you have to accept it.”
What a class act. Thank you Antonio McDyess. Enjoy retirement you deserve it.
Going to miss him.
Once he and Camby leave the game, its pretty much the end of an era.
Appreciate all your efforts as a Spur Dice.
Dice should have hid Bonner's New Balance's sometime before the game started. That would have slowed Z-bo down.
Dyess you deserve much better than this garbage team.
Dude are you serious? Z-bo destroyed every single player on our team including Duncan and Dice not just Bonner
