hrdboild said:Chris was in Sacramento longer than Vlade and had more of an impact on the court. Also, Chris was one of the best players in the game in his prime and he played in Sacramento longer than anywhere else (so far) and for the best years of his career. Vlade is a nice sentimental choice (a fan favorite and a great guy by all accounts), but Chris not getting his number retired in Sacramento would be a crime.
PS - If Peja gets re-signed here and puts in another solid 3 years or more of service, he's a lock to be retired too. He's already the longest tenured King of any of those guys in the poll. And you can't talk about retiring Bibby before Peja. Look at how many years they've played and their PPG totals and you should see why. (regardless of which you think is the better player right now)

Peja before bibby? Now that would definately be a crime.
Yes...Chris was in Sac longer than Vlade, but that doesn't mean he played more. Remember, Webber was injured quite a bit with his stay in Sac.
VF21 said:Peja a lock to be retired simply for playing for the team? I don't think so. Tenure doesn't necessarily lead to a number being retired.
hoopsfan said:I was thinking the same thing. If that were the case...A.C. Green's jersey would be hanging at Staples.![]()
ONEZERO said:Hrdboiled, please stop looking at numbers.... Peja has the most decieving numbers on the team cause those numbers dwindle drastically in the playoffs..... Peja could average 100 points a game in the regular season for all I care, but if he continues to play in the playoffs like he does now, then count him out of jersey retirement....
P.S. Peja could be a king as long as he wants.... I still like the player a lot.... But please petrie, please don't give him the max.
civija said:Peja had decent playoff numbers. Better than Bibbys.
ONEZERO said:I remember airballs by peja and swishes by bibby in that 2002 WCF series......
Yeah yeah I know, bibby had a rough series against seattle, but the whole team struggled......
Bibby has had far better playoff performances than peja..... End of discussion.

civija said:Vlade's statistics are not all that great, but what he brings to teams is:
2 World Championship titles for his nation.
NBA Finals with Magic and the Lakers.
Western conf finals with Kings.
hrdboild said:Hmm, sounds like you make a case for Vlade's number being retired first in Serbia, then in LA, then in Sac. We're third banana on that list of accomplishments. The first two are great accomplishments in a great career, but how do they contribute to his immortalization as a Sacramento King?

ONEZERO said:Civija, you're comparing bibby in his early days to peja in his so called "prime"?....
ENOUGH SAID!!!
