Honored Wayman Tisdale

[Spanish_King]

The other day I think about the option of honored Wayman Tisdale.
I'm not saying that the Kings should retire his #23, but I propose a thing:
The Kings could put his number 23 in the shoulder, like Rudy Fernandez and the Portland Trail Blazers do with Kevin Duckworth #00.

See the example:

Great Idea

That would be nice. In fact, I'd be kind of surprised if they don't do something like that.

If MSE doesn't step forward to do this, can we start a grassroots campaign for the fans to wear a black #23 ribbon? I'd be honored to wear one.

This is a great idea and I hope the Kings do this. Tisdale deserves it

Its not a bad idea...I think the only question would be Tisdale's relative isolation from everything currently Kings. Different coahces, GMs, players, even owners lessens any real impact for them. At the very least a moment of silence before the first game orsome such perhaps (although that's a heck of a way to dampen opening day enthusiasm).

I wouldn't be surprised if the Thunder beat the Kings to it.

This is the problem, but If we can do a proposal to the Kings....perhaps...

Indeed...he is one of OK's favorite sons for sure...I'm sure they'll do something in his honor.

Not to completely disagree....but does anyone remember "Tissy's Rules"?

Yup, sure do, but those were meant more tongue and cheek if I'm not mistaken, a play on the 'Jordan Rules'. But correct me if I'm wrong please. But even still, that's nothing to warrant us from paying tribute to an incredible man.

I think it's a great idea, and I too would be surprised if something wasn't already in the works.
