Although i agree with this statement, I highly doubt it being that A.I. wore #1 when he arrived in detroit. Franchises tend not to suit incoming players up in certain numbers IF they have intentions of retiring it in a couple years. (Please correct me if i'm mistaken)

But he hasn't played there in 6 years and left on bad terms.

Come on.  Retire Shaq's number, you gotta retire Horry's #5, Shaw's 20, and later Fish's 2. 

But you know, LA would retire 34.  They couldn't pass up a chance to add another "name" to their legacy.  Self-aggrandizing #@@$%.

another name to our legacy?...uhhm if not mistaken arent you a celtic fan? then you should know about adding a name to the legacy...so you now youre saying 34 is gonna get retired after you clearly said you dont see them doing it? make up your mind

34 will be up there for sure...regardless if its been 6 years since he donned a Laker jersey...the main thing is he played 8 years his most years with any team in addition to playing his best with us and successful

 

[proshares]

Would the Kings retire Webber's 4?

 

[i nasmatic i]

They already retired it.

 

[bigmike23]

Welcome to last season pro

 

[proshares]

And here I was thinking I was smart mentioning someone not mentioned already.

 

[JD617]

Why?

 

[ballinboykz]

Bosh will have his jersey retired in Toronto one day. I am damn sure of that one.

 

[CP1708]

There are people who don't think Shaq's 34 will be retired in LA? 

 

Let's see, they can't retire it in Miami, he was there for like 3 years.  Suns won't retire it.  Cavs aren't gonna do it for just a year or two.

Orlando had him for 5 years, they never won anything. 

Shaq was in LA for 8.  Won 3 titles, went to a 4th.  Had his best years there. 


So someone thinks that Shaq will play his whole career, and NO ONE is going to retire his jersey?  Really?  Come on, that's a lock.  A dead on lock.

Hold up.  

Did a Celtics fan just type this @#$%? 


Naw, I can't be in this thread no more, it's not safe for me in here, I'd get clipped if I stay in here too long.  *runs*

That's right.  Wouldn't want you to stir up any %*+@ now would we?

Nope, saying I don't think it should be retired but, knowing LA, probably will.

To the older folks, Shaq and Orlando are forever linked.  Enough said.
  

EDIT: By the way, the Celtics have quite a few numbers stupidly retired.

Only Cousy, Russell, Havlicek, maybe Cowens, Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ, and Reggie Lewis should be retired.

The rest are absurd. Original owner Walter Brown? (#1), Red Auerbach? (#2), Cedric Maxwell? (#31)...

I know some of the rest were part of the old dynasty years but come on.  There's really gotta be a higher standard to retire numbers.
