In the history of the NBA, there was a famous star Black Mamba Kobe and then the Blazers famous Yellow Mamba Roy, today to talk about another star nicknamed Mamba, "Red Mamba" Matt Bonner, compared to several other stars nicknamed Mamba, Bonner's Mamba title is somewhat funny.
Bonner has a height of 2.08 meters, plays as a big forward, has a very accurate outside shooting percentage, and is also an indispensable three-point shooter in the Spurs Dynasty lineup. Bonner's NBA career totaled 12 seasons, shooting 41.4% from three-point range, and Bonner's three-point shooting was very characteristic, shooting near the shoulder, firing a basketball like a human cannon.
With the nickname of Red Mamba, thanks to the boss Kobe Bryant, in 2013, the boss shared the memory of the year's single-game slash of 81 points on social media, when Bonner happened to play for the rival Raptors, and in the joyful interaction with fans, the boss called Bonner "Red Mamba".
After taking the nickname of boss Qin, Bonner's life has changed as a result, and the popularity of Bonner has also really caught fire, and in such a very relaxed atmosphere of the Spurs dynasty, Bonner has also gained more fans' attention.
There are many interesting accounts of the news about Bonner, including reports that Bonner is very frugal in life and is particularly fond of sandwiches, and Bonner once claimed to use the opportunity to play away games in the NBA to find the world's most delicious sandwiches. Bonner's humorous temperament is also the reason why he can stay in the Spurs for a long time.
Bonner belongs to the no. 4 position in the Space Type at the Spurs, and after ten seasons with the Spurs, Bonner has contributed a lot of wonderful performances. Although the average score per game is only 5.8 points, but in the key moment Bonner is still a three-point pitcher trusted by the head coach, Bonner will also get the opportunity to start the game, even if the feel is average, but Bonner's tactical position on the field is also crucial, watching the Spurs game live, popovich will send Bonner on time at the bench time, Bonner will throw two three-pointers when he goes up, the ball will continue to stay on the court, and if the ball does not enter, it will be replaced to be calm and calm.
In 2017, Bonner announced his retirement, shooting a total of 656 three-pointers during his career with the Spurs, ranking first in team history in three-point shooting. Bonner once made a video of his own retirement, in which Bonner wore a classic plaid shirt, took a sandwich on stage, faced the empty podium, announced his retirement from professional basketball, and the next picture was Bonner holding a basketball in a different period of jerseys through the mountains and rivers and finally came to the Spurs arena, dangling a shot outside the three-point line to break into the inside line and flying dunk to end his NBA career, in such a self-deprecating humor video, Spurs old fans are somewhat sad.
Spurs have had many very good stars in history, and Bonner is far from them in terms of fame, but in the hearts of fans, Bonner is still an important puzzle piece of the Spurs' championship winning period, such a positive and optimistic star, who can not like him.
In the Spurs' locker room, teammates hung one of his classic plaid shirts on the locker he used, with Bonner and his jersey number affixed to the back of the shirt, holding a jersey retirement ceremony for Bonner in a very Spurs way.
