They really need a two tier system for role players like Bruce, Avery, Horry. And another tier for primaries like the big three and Gervin. First tier gets numbers retired, second doesn't
So are you going to be ok with retiring Danny Green jersey too if he wins second chip with us as it is looking like he will be a long term Spur? IMO, i wouldn't open it up for role players, even extraordinaire ones, it would get ridiculous ..As of now the only who is looking one like he will rightfully join TD/Manu/Parker in getting they number retired is Kawhi ..

I got no problem with retiring green after he signed that sweet contract.
LMA should decline and get a new one
That never stopped the Jordan's and Favre's of the world!
Built by the Spurs....NBA Finals three-point record....took huge discount deal to allow Spurs to bring in LMA...
Yeah, if he starts on another le team and stays a Spur for life, I say throw Verde up there.
Bowen still chipping in
If I was Aldridge, I'd probably want a different number. Then again, if he has a lot of custom items with the number 12 on it, this is a way to save a few bucks. All good.
And our front line now looks like "21 12" which is good for all Rush fans (like Kawhi apparently).
Pure gold...
Naw, wearing #12 will help LaMarcus to channel his inner Bruce and play the defense the Spurs need him to play to help bring another le to SA.
We just need a Ring of Honor, ala Dallas Cowboys. The difference is that the ring of honor should be for role players and the retired jerseys are hung in the rafters for the best players.
#88 has been worn by a couple of greats and now Dez Bryant , who I would hope joins them eventually as a great in Cowboys / NFL history.
I agree.... so far I really don't like his prima dona at ude.
Not to mention that MJ raped them every single time
If we win 2 more 'chips with Danny I have no problem with the idea of retiring his number.
why is bowens number retired but not manus is it because manu came out of retirement to play this year.
Also lets be honest, we could go through a championship drought and not retire a players number for decades. Look at the bucks, retired a bunch of players from their '71 championship team and others from the 70s, haven't had a retired number since Moncrief in '89.
You all are gonna be pissed when Pop retires Bonners jersey...
[QUOTE=Dex;8108284]Bruce was an integral part to 3 les and was a true Spur through and through.
That lockdown defense the Spurs were known for was the core of Bowens role. Remember those boring low scoring games. Defense wins!
Classy move Bruce!!!!!!
Agreed. He signs with a new team and doesn't respect the players who helped to win les and build a winning franchise? Bruce won 3 rings playing for the Spurs, LMA just can dream with that.
That was unclassy for him.
I love Bruce! Love him! but I don't agree with his jersey being retired to begin with.
Love him too, and agree with it being retired.
He was a vital part of 3 of those banners we have hanging @ the ATTC, more so than Avery was a vital part of 99.
