Trying to incite chaos.
I think the Warriors should retire KD's number too. How long will the Thunder have to wait before they can retire KD's and not have booing?

Nick Collison is hanging in the OKC rafters
They'll name the practice gym after Westbrook soon as he retires.

There’s no argument there either. Another no brainer.

Yall act like getting your jersey retired is like trying to make the football hall of fame. Vince did a lot for the influence of Toronto basketball with with ariel assault on rims in the late 90's and early 2000's. And made a expansion team super relevant. As soon as he left from UNC he was a star. Now is he a all time great? No lol. But he can get the jersey retired for the 2000 dunk contest alone imo. Who else deserve it? Bosh?

The raptors let Anthony Bennett wear 15. That’s all you need to know about Vince’s tenure there

It's some that say Bron should not only get 1 but 2 jerseys retired by the Lakers when his tenure here has arguably been a failure that doesn't warrant even 1

Cause Bron didn't go to Denver cheat on his wife and grape a woman and then rat on his all star teammate once he got caught.

Vince is just like Yao Ming out here in Houston. On paper he aint do a lot you are right, but is impact and influence cant be quantified with just stats. He made the Raptors a lot of money. From 99 to 03 VC was one of the most popular NBA players in the world.

Lebron has brought 2 championships to the Lakers. Just saying. The Larry O Brien and the NBA Cup

Laker fans should be grateful Lebron decided to take on their charity case of an organization.

Theres a pretty good full length documentary on streaming explaining in painstaking detail exactly why VC would get his jersey retired by the Raptors
Goes far beyond anything he could've achieved on the court with the team.
He's pretty much the godfather of basketball in Canada for a few generations of players and fans with how he further popularized and helped grow the game nationwide.
That impact and influence alone is worthy of any sentimental honor the franchise could give.

Give me the debacled Magic vs Jeanie era over the Bron circus any day. Everything that comes along with Bron is cool until it's your team and you gotta watch all the ******** 
. I'd rather actually be a joke than be a pretend championship contender. At least the young sorry teams were somewhat fun to root for.
Edit I only count the bubble chip when it fits my narrative. Like when there was an argument between the better franchise la or Boston but now they got another one I go back to discounting it until I need it again. Me and that bubble chip like smokey and deebo
