Kings To Retire Jerseys Of Vlade Divac and Chris Webber

[.GR]

Remembering the good times ...

Sometime within the next few weeks, the Kings will announce plans to retire the jerseys of Vlade Divac and Chris Webber during games later this season. The retirement date for Divac appears set: March 31, during pregame festivities when the New Orleans Hornets and fellow Serbia native Peja Stojakovic visit.

The date for Webber\'s ceremony still is being discussed. The Kings are working to accommodate their former power forward and his business obligations, including his duties as a TNT analyst. The best guess here is sometime in February or early March. Webber, who was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers when the Kings began dismantling the aging, injury-riddled team that was wildly entertaining during the early part of the decade, played briefly for the Detroit Pistons before ending his career last year with his original team, the Golden State Warriors.

That's awesome.
I am gonna watch that since I love Divac.
Maybe we'll retire his jersey in LA too.

Webber is beastly though.

lol Vlade getting his jersey retired in L.A. is laughable Kraig. I hope you were being sarcastic > _>

i used to love hating these guys though. Shaq used to <Censored> on Vlade and Webber alwyas used to cry

I didn't realise they were that big of an influence in Sacramento to have their numbers retired...but then again it was ebfore I got into basketball.

Chris Webber FTW, although, if your not careful, he might use up one of your timeouts when you dont have any left.

Haha no but seriously, Webber is a beast, and I`ve got nothing but respect for the guy.

Webber should definitely have his jersey retired, but I was a little surprised to see Divac's name thrown in here.

 

[Mexi]

their gonna retire that whole team > _>
Peja, Bibby, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Scott Pollard, Lawrence Funderburke, Gerald Wallace, Mateen Cleaves, Hedon't Turkoglu

 

[.GR]

Lol.
The only other one will probably be Bibby.

 

[Mexi]

no. if you retired Vlade, you have to retire Peja
Webber deserves this, but if you think Divac and Bibby should get theres, then Peja must get his IMO

 

[.GR]

Bibby deserves this much more than Divac and Peja.

 

[The Guid]

their gonna retire that whole team > _>
Scott Pollard

Scot "way more of a badass with better hair than Robert Swift" Pollard!

 

[Mexi]

Peja has been a 3 time all-star with the Kings, Bibby 0.
I think Bibby deserves his as well, but Peja does too

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Bibby deserves this much more than Divac and Peja.

No way...

C-Webb > Peja > Bibby

 

[Pugz]

Peja and Bibby will get theres too.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

They don't deserve it though... Webber is the only one worthy of having his jersey retired.

If Vlade Divac is getting his jersey retired by the Kings, Luc Longley should have had his jersey retired by the Bulls (and the Bulls team actually did something, the Kings never accomplished anything).
