Avery's jersey gets retired tonight
Prediction: the Spurs will retire four numbers from the current team.
Tony Parker's jersey gets retired. He's been improving his game year after year. He actually let the team during the finals against the Cavaliers and deserved the Finals MVP nod. At 25, and years under contract, he'll continue to have an impact on the team and on the NBA.
Manu Ginobili's jersey gets retired. Overall, not as big on an impact as Tony, but he's huge for the Spurs. He had the foul on Dirk, but before that he hit the go-ahead three point shot. He's usually the guy with the ball on the last possesion.
Bruce Bowen's number gets retired, too. He's been a defensive force for the Spurs. He's the reason people don't call the Spurs choir boys anymore. And he should have gotten the DPOY last season. Any, no Bruce, no titles.
And maybe that guy who plays power forward too. Tim Duncan doesn't need any justification.

Oh man, while I appreciate your bravery, I'm going to miss you after the others at this site read that and have you killed...
Also, I agree, those 4 will get their numbers retired. Bowen's karate kick action alone should get him in.

Re: Avery's jersey gets retired tonight
Have you watched the Spurs since Manu joined the team? I agree Tony was MVP of last years finals series, but Manu and Tim have been the leaders of our postseason success.
In order of importance to the team...
Tim Duncan
Manu Ginobili
Tony Parker tied with Bruce Bowen
All four of these guys will definitely have their jersey's retired... and deservedly so. But, I'll wait a couple of years before I move Tony up in my list.
I am happy. I am proud. - Manu Ginobili

Re: Avery's jersey gets retired tonight
btw, i could have seen manu getting the finals mvp in 2005. i saw why they picked tim, but manu got almost half the votes.

Re: Avery's jersey gets retired tonight
tony's pay is not inconsequential. there are people are have won more nba championships than you who think tony should be paid more than manu.
tony has more points per game, assists per game, and a higher shooting percentage. if manu is better at all those things, he's not converting that to helping the spurs more.
i love manu, and i'd rather he has the ball at the end of a tie game (or one point deficit), but all the points count the same when the tally the score and tony has more of them.
it's my opinion, but it's based on facts not feelings.
