Barry Leans Towards Retirement

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Rocky Mountain News - Denver is interested in bringing back Jon Barry, who played for them in 2003-04. But Barry, waived Wednesday by Houston, has battled nagging injuries."I'm probably leaning toward retirement," the guard said Sunday."I've been watching the games over the past couple of days, and I don't think that I can do that anymore," Barry, 36, said. "I've got to have the desire to be 100 percent (to still play)."Barry plans to make a decision this week. He had hoped to talk with Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe on Sunday, but the two had not spoken by early evening."We wanted him to think about it for three or four days," said Vandeweghe, who spoke to Barry on Wednesday while coach George Karl talked to him Friday.</div>

 

Well- Jon Barry is a solid basketball player, and a classy guy.Sad to see players like him go (players who KNOW and are ABLE TO ACCEPT their role as a role-player)- but he was aging, and not looking to leave Houston.

 

Damnit, I was hoping you posted this in the wrong board and it was about Barry Bonds...damnit.

 

Jon Barry played well for the Nuggets and it would be nice to see him retire there. Even if he isn't at full health.

The are pretty weak at sg so why not? He can make open jumpers. He can still play.

 

I was commenting on Wades post about retiring in Denver.He played 57 games for us.

 

He should retire in Detroit! Not like thats a homer pick or anything....He was a key member to the alternatorz, which included Corliss Williamson, Z Rebraca, Barry, and a bunch of others.

If Barry Bonds isn't playing for the record, and isn't having fun, what the heck is he playing for?

There is no doubt that Barry is playing for the record. That's the kind of guy he is.

 

Wouldn't you go for the record if you could play this good when your 38 or so?
