Very well then, the bathroom it is.
Looking ahead: The next time Johnson is in San Antonio's AT&T Center, it will be to have his No. 6 jersey unveiled in the rafters.
That ceremony will take place Dec. 22, when the Mavericks have an off night and the Spurs host the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Spurs have retired the numbers of James Silas, George Gervin, Johnnie Moore, David Robinson and Sean Elliott.
Interestingly, Elliott's jersey was missing at the Mavericks' shootaround Wednesday. Johnson said the Spurs had to take it down for measurement purposes to make sure Johnson's is the same size as the rest of the oversized jerseys.
Asked if he wanted his jersey to hang next to that of Robinson, who was best man at Johnson's wedding, Johnson said: "You know what, it'll be nice to be anywhere in the building. They could put it in the bathroom. I don't care."
Let the battle begin!!!

Ghey
Anyone going?
Even though this news is like three months old, props to User for reiterating the fact.
I still can't believe they are retiring his jersey.
well congrats aagain avery and that was a hilarious statement
i'm just glad i aint the only one who feels like this.....
AJ was a great leader for the Spurs. Not as skilled as a Ginobli or a Parker, IMO. But his leadership was a key ingredient when the Spurs were beginning their championship run. He is held in much affection by the last generation of Spurs, including and especially D-Rob. He's a little bit of an enemy now as coach of the Mavs, but it wouldn't surprise me to see AJ back in SA at some point, perhaps succeeding Pop.
Why? The guy hit one shot in his life and was a liability the whole other time. He cannot hold Parker's jock to put it mildly. If the Spurs had had any truely talented PG in the David Robinson era poor DR would have had more than 2 rings.
When he was playing for the Spurs, I liked him fine. He played tough...wasn't the most talented, but did his job.
He never did enough to warrant retiring his Jersey tho. I mean, alongside ICE, ROBINSON?
No freakin' way.
silly move.
MANU 6?????
maybe Spurs like AJ to be our coach after pop retired?
A J
That was right right after we drafted him. I don't know why they first gave him 6, but it certainly made for an interesting photo op.
We'll give him a six flush salute.
Six is a crappy number anyway.
Let the Maverick have it.
I will go to this game just to boo when they do it. He is now the head of the snake called the Mavericks. He allows his team to play dirty and without class. For that, I say BOO!! Avery Johnson.. BOOOOOOOO!
Then put it in the ing bathroom
Man a lot of Avery hate in here which i just don't get. I mean all of you are hating on avery because he's good enough to be a head coach in the league? I know it just happens to be with the Mavs but if your gonna boo him for this jersy retirement you should have a legitament reason. I mean if avery never became a coach and was just a retired basketball player there wouldn't be all this nonsense going on. I'll be at that game and i agree that avery's stats aren't all that impressive but he meant more to this franchise than just stats and i'm sure as not gonna boo him.
