That's The Way The Cookie Crumbles
I didn't realize Van Exel was going to take Malik's number. That's kind of shabby.
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I haven't been online here since the playoffs.
Say what you will about Malik's value at the end, the trade was obviously a good thing when all was said and done and Nazr put on a good show in the playoffs. But I really didn't want to see his number taken by somebody new right away.
Hahahha

oh my ing god.
Grow up.
Malik Rose doesnt need the number retired, or "reserved" for a while.
This number bull is out of hand.
Keep kickin ass Van Exel.
Keep 31.
I agree for once.
Now you know how I felt when Malik Rose took former Spur Sven Nater's #31.
Wait, that's not true.

Ha! Huh? Who?
Remember Nagele Knight? Didn't he wear #31?
Worst thread ever. You realize that Malik isn't even wearing 31 in NY, don't you? He's gone to 13. Are you going to complain when NY dumps his salary and someone else takes NY's 13?
Props to a man who was a big help in winning two NBA championships, regardless of whatever happens to his number.
How soon Spurs fans forget.
Malik couldn't be 31 in New York. Someone already had it. I think that is why he inverted and got 13.
I thought I would be really upset about Nick having Malik's old number. But it is kind of nice to have the number still active on the roster. It reminds me of Malik. =)
I don't forget, but I also remember how bad he screwed us up so many times...
those seem to overshadow it, there are reasons why he got traded....... do you realize that?
Yeah, I remember the Malik #31 retirement talk...
..oh wait. That NEVER HAPPEND.
Yeah it was horrible when he threw that errant pass in a February game at the Clippers or whatever. The man showed up when it was winning time. He may or may not deserve a jersey retirement, but he definitely deserves some respect for what he did when it was winning time.
I respect Malik for what he did. I don't respect people who are crying over his number being worn by someone else, and a pretty good player in his own right. Move on, people. Nothing left to see here.
During winning time, everyone shines...
I clearly remember what happened during the Laker series in 2004....
the guy practically screwed tons of chances for us during those games.
Malik is a great SA guy, but I was VERY happy about that trade. He made some great contributions over the years but it was more than time for a trade.
As of now, when I see 31, I think Van Exel.
That's revisionist history at its finest.
Malik is Knick, please move on.
Geez, its not like he was a hall of famer.
He was a tremendous role player who played w/ heart.
Geez.
LATE!!!!
Negele Knight wore #32 he was here when Sean was in Detroit.
How did you get home so quickly?
van "X" will finally do that number some justice...
Amen.I respect Malik for what he did. I don't respect people who are crying over his number being worn by someone else, and a pretty good player in his own right. Move on, people. Nothing left to see here.
We don't forget, but we have moved on.
Time for you too to move on Marcus.
Mario Elie had great clutch plays for us, but I dont remember anyone ing about Brent Barry having his number.
STeve Kerr was number 4, why should Finley have it?
Sidney Green was solid, why should Duncan have it??
Its a number people, MOVE ON.
