    Bending over backwards for the diva. A normal player would just respect the team's history and take a different number.

    Bruce Bowen was a great defender and can hit the corner 3, but was his number really worth retiring to start?

    We retired Twardzik, Hollins, Steele, and Gross' jerseys. I don't think we get to criticize any other teams' jersey retirement choices.

    "With Bruce Bowen's 'Blessing' (and $200k from LMA to the Bruce Bowen School for Kids Who Can't Read Good), Spurs give retired #12 to LMA"

    brings up a question: is there a possibility that LMA does enough to earn a retirement of his Spurs jersey? And if he does, will this decision of his mean that for eternity he has to share even his jersey being retired? This makes Dame's commercials seem like nothing...

    Not sure which I like better--LA suffering the ignominy of a shared jersey retirement, or the Zoolander reference.

    Never mind, it's the LA thing.

    Would it be immature for Denny to have it renamed :lamarcus:?

    Yeah, well Pops must've discussed with Bowen about the number and promising LA he would have it during their second meeting. I'm with others in here. Just choose a different freaking number.

    Knowing the egos of some of these guys, I imagine unretiring #12 was part of the FA negotiations.

    Your number isn't really retired if they ask you to let someone else use it.
