Active NBA Players that will have their jersey retired...and where?

[Raef LaFrentz]

Please leave out players like Durant/Rose. Although they most likely will hang their jerseys in the rafters one day, they are too young/have not done enough for this discussion.
Shaq - L.A. (100%), Orlando (maybe), Miami (maybe)

K.G. - Minny (100%), Boston (small chance...and before anyone knocks me, KG straight up revitalized basketball in boston a few years ago)

Iverson- Philly (100%)

Kobe- (100%)

Duncan- (100%)

Dirk- (100%)

Nash- Phoenix (100%), Dallas?

Pierce- (99%)

Kidd- Jersey (99%), Phoenix?

LeBron- if he were to have a career ending injury tomorrow, I believe Cleveland will retire #23

D-Wade- I think Miami will retire #3 no matter what happens this summer

Ray Allen- maybe Milwaukee? maybe OKC? or some type of honor in the city of Seattle

Billups- has a chance in Detroit

Carter- maybe Toronto? (he was the most important person that franchise has ever seen)

Parker- it's a possibility. I have a feeling the Spurs will one day hang his number.

T-Mac- Orlando? It's a long shot, especially if Penny's number wasn't hung. but T-mac's raw talent in his prime was just absurd.

I'm interested to hear other opinions. Did I forget anyone?

Michael Finley in Dallas.
Pau Gasol in Memphis.
Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton in Detroit.
Yao Ming in Houston.

No to TMac, Carter, Kidd/Phoenix, Nash/Dallas, and Ray Allen is an interesting one actually.

 

[noreasonabledoubt]

Dont know who else but I'm pretty sure the way GSW recycles players, they wont have a jersey retired for a while...maybe Curry will start it up again.

 

[N41D]

Nash in Dallas? No way. Finley got a better shot than Steve, but I still think it'll only be Dirk...

 

[vc3fan]

If they could hang one up for Kidd on the Nets right now, They would.


End of story there. He will have his jersey retired by the Nets.


I do not see carter having his jersey retired by any team he played for, just my thought.

Nash in phoenix

Shaq in LA, Maybe miami

Pierce in Boston.

Just a few. Others are pretty well known if they occur.

I doubt Vince gets his # retired in Toronto, they hate him up there.

 

[lamarownsem]

Shaq: LA
Kobe
Duncan
Garnett: MIN
Iverson: PHI
Pierce

Those are the only guys I consider 100% locks.

 

[crazyrichazn]

Redd?

Why?

 

[bittersweet]

KG in Minnesota possibly.

 

[westcoastsfinest]

shaq in LA for sure...i still think hes gonna retire as a Laker when its all said whether he signs for a year or just for one day then retire

pierce is a lock i think for boston
kidd in new jersey...nuff said
nash in phx
kg i dont think boston would but minny would do it in a heartbeat and deservingly so
iverson in philly
dirk in dallas for sure
kobe Lakers' all time leading scorer yeah im pretty sure he gets 24 retired but the question is does 8 get retired as well? i mean he has plenty of achievements in 8 as well as that 81 point game
duncan is the san antonio spurs hes a lock
big ben and chauncey yup they should
pau in memphis
durant in OKC
Lebron in brooklyn

 

[seymore cake]

Bean should go back to 8... I miss 8.

 

[downtown43]

Yao Ming in Houston.

ehh..

 

[banks2pierce]

What about Ginobili? I bet he does.

And it sucks for Ray, but he hasn't been at one place long enough.

he did a lot for the game of basketball

basketball wasnt even relevant in China until he came along

 

[superofficial]

I can see Chauncey for sure, and Ben has a good chance. He was the face of that run we had.

Pau in Memphis I totally disagree with. Although there are many people that will agree with you. I've also heard people say Pau in L.A. will be honored. That makes me sick.

 

[koolbarbone]

Some of these opinions are way off base. Michael Redd? If that ever happens, then Glenn Robinson should get his number retired too, since he did more for that franchise than Redd ever did, which is a ridiculous statement in and of itself.

Why do you not consider Dirk a 100% questionable lock?

 

[doublejs07]

So pretty much the criteria is, you do well for 5 years or so for said team and you automatically get your jersey retried, right?

I'll be there for Luol Deng's jersey retirement in a few years.

Dirk is a 100% LOCK for the HOF, but he can't get his jersey retired by the Mavs?????

Pau going 0-16 in the playoffs and having his number retired made me laugh.

But he does deserve it in Memphis.
