Retiring jerseys is undoubtedly an honor that all stars dream of, but the conditions for retiring jerseys in the NBA are also very harsh, first of all, it must bring enough honor to this team, and secondly, it must be played for a long time and form a certain influence on the team. Like Durant, although he did not play in the Warriors for a long time, he brought two championships to the Warriors, so the Warriors owner also announced that he would retire the jersey for him, or the Thunder's Collison, even if his career was only a role player, but because he played for a long time, he also won the honor of retiring the jersey. However, the following superstars are not so lucky, they are always so far away from being retired by a team.
Anthony
As the probing show of the 2003 draft, Anthony was known as the "offensive kaleidoscope" at his peak, and anthony has scored 27,820 points in his career, ranking ninth in the NBA's all-time scoring list. However, it is such a star who can rank in the top ten of the NBA's historical scoring list, and Anthony is likely not to enjoy the treatment of retiring jerseys! The simple reason is that the teams that Anthony played for in his career were too scattered. Anthony first formed the golden double gun at the Nuggets and Iverson in the early days, and played in Denver for 8 years, but did not bring any honor, so that the No. 15 jersey he was wearing at that time was actually worn by Jokic today, and the probability of retirement was not as great as the latter.
Subsequently, Anthony moved to the Knicks, but despite playing in the big city for 7 years, Anthony did not bring substantial honors to the Knicks, and his personal honors only won a scoring champion. Therefore, the Knicks will not retire Anthony's jersey, not to mention the Thunder who played for a year, the Rockets for a year, the Blazers for two years and the Lakers today, and the probability of retiring the jersey is almost zero.
irving
Unlike Anthony, however, Irving did help the team win the championship, but the truth is that Irving is also very likely to be decommissioned by an NBA team. Irving's famous team is undoubtedly the Cavaliers, and Irving, who became the strongest offensive player around James, helped the team win the seven with a three-pointer in the 2016 Finals, becoming cleveland's hero, but then he asked the Cavaliers to trade himself in 2017, no doubt making himself a traitor in the hearts of cavaliers management and fans. Not to mention the later Green Team, Irving stepped on the landmark of the Green Army floor after the transfer to the Nets, which basically ruined the possibility of his retired jersey. Then there is the current Nets, Irving refused to vaccinate for various reasons, unable to play, so that The Nets fans are also fiercely remembered, it can be said that now Harden is the nets to retire the jersey the possibility, are greater than Irving.
Paul George
Paul George, on the other hand, is different from Owen, and although he and his previous old clubs have no vendetta, they are always a little bit short. Whether it's in the Pacers, Thunder or Clippers, Pepper has a bright performance, but if you want to say that the qualification to retire the jersey, that really hasn't been achieved. First of all, George did not help any of the above teams to win the championship, or even reach the Finals, so in the Clippers these years is the last chance of George's career, if he can help the Clippers to win the championship, then the retired jersey is a nail in the coffin, but if not, you can only rely on mixed working years to retire.
Paul
However, to say that it is miserable, Paul is also really miserable, although all the teams Paul has played for have become strong teams, but his career has never won the championship so far. Look at the team Paul played for, the Hornets who played at the beginning, now renamed the Pelicans, the possibility of retirement is unlikely; the subsequent Clippers, the honor is worse, after all, a Western Conference Finals have not been scored; the subsequent Rockets broke through the Spell of the Western Conference Finals, but they could not retire because of insufficient working age; the subsequent Thunder only played for one year without considering; the Suns, last year was a good opportunity, but regrettably lost the championship, and now Paul wants to be retired, and can only lead the Suns to win the championship again on his own, for a 36-year-old veteran , indeed a little strict. （ikuet）
