    Dude managed to play his entire career without committing a single foul. Pretty impressive!

    Wasnt he last arguing with a referee in the tunnel after his last game was done? :grin: He might have let some skills on the court, but he more than compensated with mouth and quotables.

    I like his style, trying to sneak his retirement in during the draft. Slip out unnoticed. I'll bet anyone $15 he plays sometime next year.

    Slip out unnoticed? He just started game 7 of the NBA finals and played pretty well at that. Doc Rivers said there was a chance of him retiring right after the game :confused:

    Bahh, really wanted to see him get his second ring.

    Oh well. At least he got one with Detroit.

    God bless and good night.

    Rasheed retired in the appropriate fashion. He wasn't scared of y'all.

    Man, I can't say that I would leave over $13M on the table.

    Sheed, you're a better man than I, I guess.

    I thought players who retire continue to get paid whatever is left on their contract? I dont remember where I heard that or maybe I just made that up in my head.
