Harpring jersey needs to be retired

[Magic Spray]

It will be retired just as soon as Favors is through with it.

Only if harprings jersey looks like a football jersey. You know he played football too right?

 

[gregbroncs]

Absolutely not. Horny doesn't really belong up there but at least he was the final piece in a championship contending team. As much as I liked Matt he was a role player plain and simple.

This. Harpring was < Bryon Russell. He does not belong in the rafter's. Now Ak is an interesting case. I don't think he belongs. But this is the Jazz.

I don't think Bryon Russell was better than Harpring.

But if you retire Harpring, you would have to consider retiring Russell and you'd definitely have to retire Thurl Bailey.

Matt Harpring is nowhere near worthy of having his number retired. Now, on any given night, he's the second best player in the ESA to have worn 15 for the Jazz.

Also, no on Russell. If we retire a number for every player who had 1 or 2 good seasons for us, we'll run out.

Thurl is borderline. But I think Horny is really borderline, also.

AK is borderline, but you don't really need to retire his number. Who else would wear 47, anyway?

There is a H.S. kid that is pretty good named Alex Kampas.
He could wear the 47 for the Jazz if they get him.

He could, but would he?

If it were me - and it isn't - I wouldn't want a recycled nickname.

If anyone's jersey deserves to be retired, it is Thurl's. But even his doesn't really deserve to be retired, other than at the end of a long career with the Jazz when he is 80 and retiring, maybe then.

Nah, not even then.

Obvious trolling is obvious.

I hate Bryon Russell I think he was the single most overrated Jazz player not named Boozer. But he was still better than Harpring. None of those 3 should be retired. Frankly neither should Hornacek or Layden.

So stop it.
