What players need to retire before the last ties with your childhood NBA memories are severed?

NBA Draft Class of 1996

 

[kdawg]

They're all well gone already.

kobe

 

[atlballa15]

VC

 

[statis22]

Only one I can think of atm is Shaq. Kidd is still playing at a high level and Hill probably isn't a sure fire HOFer.

 

[jamergrady]

The inevitable.

 

[noskey]

Shaq, KG, and Vince. No one else is making a big enough embarrassment of themselves for me to want them to quit.

 

[filthyrich]

tmac, ray allen and shaq

 

[vahustler]

t-mac and KG... these guys knees are so done

 

[marv machamp]

Shaq
G. Hill
Kidd

These fools been been in the like since I was 4.

Im in my 20s now.

If I go back to my last year of high school in 1995...I guess Ray Allen and Shaq are the only ones left but I didn't really care about Shaq much after he left Orlando anyway.  A lot of my all time favorites called it quits  a few years after my high school days.  Barkley, Majerle, KJ, Hornacek, Elliott Perry, Chambers, Penny (with Orlando)...and of course some of the Bucks I grew up watching...Sikma, Dale Ellis, Big Dog, Rickey Pierce, Brick, Krstkowiak, Humphries, Alvin Robertson, Danny Schayes.

Unfortunately I just don't have the same love for the NBA anymore.

i'm ready for KG to retire. hes just annoying these days.

 

[dmbrhs]

Shaq is the only one that really comes to mind. The rest of the players from my childhood that I liked have been long gone.

The Kidd looked like he was 22 out there. Out-rebounding Horford many times, making flashy passes, and knocking down shots all over the floor.

saying kidd is still playing at a elite level is laughable

 

[equality]

A.I.

 

[theprocessofbelief]

Nash.

 

[jdiddy931]

Why is Grant Hill on here? Dudes playin great ball, also Jkidd.

This thread doesn't make sense.

 

[ag 47]

Kobe

The bigger Ginobli's bald spot gets, the older I feel.

Watching the decline or Shaq, KG, Ivo...90s era folks...depressing stuff.
