I wouldn't rule out his jersey getting retired, tbh.

Fantastic video. I'm surprised no team wanted to pick him up as an end of bench guy. He actually still has some game, and helps take wear and tear off any playoff roster.
Interesting to do it now. I could see him still getting picked up.
As much as i hated the fact that Pop gave him a pass for sucking balls in the playoffs for a decade, I can't hate the guy.
Good retirement Bonbon.
Great guy and amazing shooter. Drew a lot of ire around here at times, even from myself, but he always did anything and everything that was asked of him to the best of his ability. He was a great professional and a true Spur.
Enjoy your retirement, Matty!
Thank you for your service Matt!
9 seasons and $27,743,057 too late
I laught at "remember what I did best, and then pump fake and drive for dunk"
Well said
Great dude, teammate, & of course shooter. Loved the way he stayed compe ive as he got older. Enjoy retirement Red Mamba
He can sit home with his millions, hot wife, 2 championship rings and frankly it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Any role player whose shooting gravity can affect the WCF has done his job.
Hats off to you Matty. The Red Rocket is grounded. He is very personable. He should try and become the new Craig Saiger on the sidelines
great video tbh
people who have hated Matty or even Pop for playing him don't get it tbh... dude created modern NBA...
I do love some Matty...
Interesting how his twitter says MattBonner_SAS
I wonder if he is still on at some capacity. Maybe the guy that commentates for Sean when the team travels up north. lol
Maybe it was SAS or nothing for him.
He'll be working in the FSSW studio as an analyst.
Oh, and good riddance.
Marr Bonner PF 2 championship rings
Karl Malone PF 0 championship rings
just sayin'
Wanted to be a Celtic before he retired
In Spurs history, Matt Bonner is 8th in games played (632), 4th in 3PTM (656) and 3PTA (1588), 5th in 3PT% (.413), and 10th in True Shooting Percentage (.584). He authored the 2nd best three point percentage shooting season in Spurs history in 2010-11 (.457) and still has the #1 Offensive Rating season in Spurs history in 2008-09 (122.9). He's also 6th in franchise history in playoff games (94).
Matt Bonner was a lot of things (and he was not a lot of things), but he was always ready and did whatever he was asked to do to help the club. He missed a lot of shots (and rebounds) and struggled mightily at times when the bright lights of the playoffs came on -- when he was usually overmatched -- but even when things weren't going his way, he continued to play hard. His ability to step into the starting lineup in the 2014 WCF and then to knock out even a couple of 3's in the hostile environment of Game 6 at Chesapeake was important to the Spurs' last le. He frustrated a lot of people, but was a good culture guy for the club and leaves a positive legacy, at least to me, as he leaves the game.
I suspect he'll do well for himself in retirement. I hope he does.
Long live the Z-Bo stopper!
