Should #47 hang from the rafters at ESA

In a word NO.

In a paragraph, the Jazz need to do something for the guys that come through that are fan favorites or make significant contributions to Jazz history but don't reach jersey hanging status.

Matt Harpring, Bryon Russel, AK, Okur, Thurl Bailey, Ostertag, Deron, Boozer, Milsap are all possibilities. Also what do you do with Phil Johnson? A Wall of Fame, or the Jazz High Notes or something with these guys names and some refrence to thier stats or something would accomplish that. The guy comes back, the fans applaud, name goes in the corner of the game floor and a plackard or something goes in the hallway.

And while we are on Jazz memorabillia, if I ran the ESA for LHM I would have Jerry Sloan quotes about playing hard and wanting to win all over the building--its a better tribute than a statue, and helps tie in the past to what is happening today. But the Jazz don't pay me to think up ideas for them so my idea will soon be forgotten.
 
Oh! Sorry!! You see i'm old and get confused easily. Thanks AKMVP, by the way you put up the good fight in this thread. You even convinced me. Oh ! Wait!! It was my idea to start with. See, i told you my mind was sharp.
 
Yes, please hang Andrei from the rafters.

Oh, you mean just his jersey? NO WAY!!!


And that goes the same for Okur, Deron, etc. Retired numbers are special. You could make a case for AK, but he was only dominant for a year or two. Then he was just a good role player.

He has a physical intelligence that is hard to put a finger on, but that I think is probably unmatched in the NBA.

....."physical intelligence?" Give me the Funk and Wagnals definition of that!!! Klinko was as dumb as a rock when it came to basketball intellegence.....well maybe not quite that dumb.
 
I love AK, I don't want him back unless for vet minimum, I don't want his jersey in the rafters. Thank you.
