Will the Jazz ever retire the #47 jersey of Kirilenko?

The Cavs just retired Zydrunas Ilgauskas' jersey....I'm wondering if the Jazz will ever make the same with the jersey number 47 when Kirilenko will retire from basketball, he is having a similar career as Ilgauskas in the Nba.

AK spent 10 seasons in Utah and he has been arguably the Jazz icon after the Stockton & Malone era, giving to the franchise a good image.

Although he was being overpaid and didn't quite fulfill expectations, I think he would deserve this recognition in future.
I think most Jazz fans, me included, still love him!

LMAO. They should not.
.
But this is the Jazz and frankly there are a few Jersey's up there that don't belong. So it won't surprise me.
 
The icon after Stock/Malone was D-Will. After that it was probably Okur.

Better question is if Okur will get his jersey retired. That is actually a conversation to be had.
 
The jazz will retire anything... Numbers for owners and coaches... Retiring a softball number is stupid. Naming the court after the owner is stupid as well. I believe Larry should be honored, I just think there are more creative ways to do it, other than an honor generally reserved for coaches. It should most def be Jerry Sloan court and some of those jerseys don't belong. I'm surprised ostertag has not had his jersey retired here.

Hardly dumb ... but because of the bad feelings that were created at times with Jerry, I think not. And DWill, definitely not. The Jazz traded him to get rid of him. Okur was the all-around good guy and though not as good as DWill or AK, he might be a possibility.
 
I would doubt there is anyone under consideration for a jersey retirement at this point. If there is one person I think they could honor it would be Phil Johnson and that won't be a jersey.

Okur was way more important to Utah.
