Didn't they at one point honor former great players who were about to retire, like D.Wade and Dirk, not too long ago by offering them a spot?
Yep.

They added the legend spot because both were retiring.

I liked that a lot.

But, only in specific circumstances like that.

Yeah but problem is there's been no great player to that level that we knew would retire like that since they did that.

I assume they will continue to add a lifetime achievement spot for guys like that as long as they announce it is their final season

They should keep that option open.

Guys like Dwight and Melo deserved something like that if they actually announced they were going to retire rather than just fall out of favor.

Lebron is a lock too, when he finally starts to decline and announce his retirement in about 15 years time....

Yeah I think I remember that. I think they ran out of guys that fit the bill when Haslem turned them down.

Maybe. I don't remember if it was anything formal, might have been a coaches pick or something.
Yep, she is correct.

Avoids ugly situations like when everyone was trying to pressure Vince into giving up his Starter spot to Jordan.

Im a fan girl.

But, that shit was distasteful.

Yep. I go to all sorts of Catholic shit I’m involved with. Because I’m either a teacher at the school, or a leader in the organization, they expect when you win the 50/50 you have to donate it back. Like what the fuck? How about we liquidate some of that fine art to counteract that extra $650 you took in so you can buy tacky wreaths to stick on the pews at Christmas. Nobody likes your fucking wreaths, Denise!

Are you ready for tomorrow?
But for real I know you’re talking Jokic Embiid. It’s a nice little appetizer for Sunday. I’m having a compelling sports year. Been a lot of fun. Embiid played dumb the other night all geeked up over the Ben shit. He’s emotionally immature. I hope he learns from that with the next game out vs Jokic cause you know he’ll be jacked up again and taking shit personal. He did that last year and they lost late because Cousins and Bones went off. He needs to center that shit to good smart winning basketball instead of trying to go prove the world wrong in a single basketball game. Work the shit that has you on a 19-4 run.
