I thought it was super cool that LeBron was trying to organize a league-wide retirement of 23. Then he went back to 23 because ideology is trumped by marketing

The Rockets retired Clyde Drexler's number even though he was only on the team for two years It was probably more a Phi Slamma Jamma thing than anything else

Ghost Dog posted:kobes entire life is an mj cosplay, wonder if we ever get some dude cosplaying lebron to a hof career Kobe already has his Demar Deroazan. The imitators will be based on media coverage and advertising. I would expect more kids imitating Steph Curry than Lebron. Lebron is totally closed to the world, he doesn't even have a persona. He's been in his own world since he was 17 or so, he's like some Ottoman prince. Plus you need to be 20 standard deviations past everything to meet him. Kobe wasn't an overpowering physical presence, so it's easier to play really selfish basketball, hiss, and shoot fadeaways. Curry has his mouthpiece chewing and his aww shucks praise to be God persona, and his skip up threes.

Not out of respect or retirement or whatever but just cause it makes you look like a desperate dweeb. Like c'mon Draymond/Anthony Davis/everyone else on this list http://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/numbers.fcgi?number=23&year=2017 . And it just gets lower tier from there. Fred Van Vleet, who are you kidding? there are now guys in the league wearing #23 as an homage to LeBron

Carlosologist posted:I can understand Z-Bo's number retirement, he did a lot for the community so it makes sense that they would do it as soon as possible to honor their guy on his way out Exactly. But that dude's argument is that "if you have to say you need to be here to understand this retirement you don't need to retire it" and I'm getting way too mad online about it. I'm gonna go see Spider-Man

Bill Russell would be more deserving of that honor imo. straight up brolic posted:https://twitter.com/Phantele_/status/882055830304116737 Huertas and Prigioni had sweet EuroLeague highlights also.
