Solid player

Happy retirement but one of the most overrated stars in any sport ever.

 

[GKJ]

It was interesting to know he hadn’t already been retired.

Was surprised no one signed him before this season, he can still put up points off the bench

the second best #15 in nuggets history. are they going to retire 15 twice? same thing with the angels giving 27 to trout when it was previously worn by HOF'er vlad guerrero who deserved to have his # retired (but hasn't)

Just do it for both.

Probably do it a week apart like the Rangers did with Bathgate/Graves.

Much like Harden, you were never going to win a championship with him as a main guy.

Don't sell Eddie Hughes short.

With the way Carmelo left and Joker still going, it will be a long while.

[Hasbro]

But that's only like $200 million after taxes.

 

[GKJ]

I had questioned if Carmelo was in that zone and then I saw the other numbers the Nuggets retired and think they pretty much have to do this and ask why they ever reissued 15 at all.

He left in a bit of a stink and probably didn't envision even this much of a reconciliation and at this point Jokic could ask for any number out of the rafters and I'd be okay with it.

Now officially LeBron the only remaining active player from the 2003 draft. How does Carmelo’s retirement affect LeBron’s legacy?

Disagree

He only played 6 seasons (846 games) with the Angels

Guerrero's 162 game average from '04 - '09:
104 runs, 33 HR, 118 RBI, 10 SB, .319 AVG, .381 OBP, .927 OPS, 141 OPS+, 4.1 WAR

Mo Vaughn's 162 game average from '93 - '98:
107 runs, 40 HR, 125 RBI, 4 SB, .315 AVG, .405 OBP, .974 OPS, 148 OPS+, 4.3 WAR

Should the Red Sox retire Vaughn's number?

I think someone like Tim Salmon, who spent his entire career with the organization (1672 games), would be more deserving of the honour than Guerrero

guerrero won an MVP with the angels and was a key part of the best stretch of angels teams they've had in franchise history. not to mention he was the first player to go into the HOF as an angel. there's no doubt they'll retire his # eventually

he's far more deserving of having it retired than the previous #s the franchise has retired

Vaughn won an MVP with the Red Sox

And Guerrero played more games with Montreal, and should've gone in as an Expo, but chose an Angels hat because of the obvious perks that come with being a Hall of Famer from a team that is still in existence

More importantly: Darko's?

Get this man at the NBA Finals game 1

Knicks paying tribute to him on social media but not the Nuggets.

Ruined Linsanity that’s how I’ll remember him

Nuggets will give him his due, they are sorta busy atm

If his exit from the Nuggets wasn’t sour, I think he would’ve gotten the tribute even in the middle of a playoff run. His replacement as the franchise player wearing the same number doesn’t help, either.
