To retire 5 in honor of Kevin Garnett

[PSquared]

I believe it's going to take more than 5 years and *THREE* more Championships for the C's to even entertain the idea of retiring KG's number.


Remember that KG spent practically his entire basketball career in Minny.....



And as far as Ray-Ray goes, I don't see him getting his number retired here...He *will* go into the HOF, though(but as a Supersonic....providing the City gets a team back by then)

Barring unforeseen developments I'd say he qualified the second they won a championship.  I think he's the Celts equivalent of Curt Schilling in 2004 without the bloody sock drama.

thats why i'm saying that Kevin will have to play atleast 6 years here. AT LEAST. i dont think ray's will get retired.

Jordan Heat?  huh?

[JBcat]

Wow if Barkley got his number retired from the Suns and Drexler with the Rockets then I think there is a very good chance we could do the same with KG and Ray provided they play here another 5 years.  Especially since knowing how kind the C's are with retiring numbers.   It's not like the Sox where it seems much harder to get your number retired.

[BigAlTheFuture]

That's awkward. Why would the Heat retire MJ's number?

Without 5 there is no 17. He definitely should have his number retired.

True, so at least the Heat had a reason to do this... but the Hornets retiring Maravich's jersey?? It makes no sense...
