But yes. That was certainly a wall of text
So Tony Allen is getting his jersey retired LMAO. @MarkyMcFly can you possibly defend this move or did Memphis leapfrog the Clips as the most pathetic franchise in NBA history?
lmao. whats worse? hanging division titiles (Tony Allen couldnt do) or literally making sure no other player ever wears a number that means nothing both league wide or to anyone in memphis (my sincere apologies)Unlike the pathetic franchise up north who hang banners celebrating half assed accomplishment, the Jersey retirement is more about what he meant to the team and the city, and starting the who grit and grind era, along with Z-Bo.
Maybe if they knew a little more about respecting their players, Vince would stick around champ.
I cant say rings are the most important measurement as some Raptors fans think Vince should have his jersey retired, but the majority is NO, and Vince has had a far greater impact on the team, city, and game in general than Tony Allen has had in Memphis ( a city that shouldnt even have a pro sports team, regardless of the sport) In Tony Allen is a 6 time All NBA Defensive selection. has never made it past the conference finals (was gifted his way that far, due to injuries) has never made an All -Star team, and played for the team for only 7 fucking years. This is likely the most ridiculous jersey retirement in Sports Entertainment history. Defensive players don't get nearly enough credit (@HunterSdVa29 ) but this isnt a trend even the shittiest of cities or the worst of frenchises should be pushing.

There is no way in hell a player of Allen's caliber should have his number retired.
That is for Franchise greats and Dan Marino.
Lol the heat have Tim Hardaways number retired. He was there, what...5 maybe 6 years?
