Chapter 839 Jersey Retirement Plan
The division champion sounds like a champion, but in fact, only those teams that have not won a championship, or the team with a small number of championships, will fly the flag of the division champion.
Even the Clippers, under normal circumstances, thought about flying the flag of the division champion......
The so-called division champion, as we all know, the league is divided into eastern and western divisions, and the western champion is the division champion.
The east and west divisions are divided into three divisions, of which the Clippers belong to the Pacific Division, and the teams in the same division include the Lakers, Warriors, Suns, Kings and Clippers.
The Clippers normally have the best playoff results in the Pacific Division, so they want to fly the championship flag in this division......
As a result, he was stopped by Griffin, because he also felt that it was a shame to fly such a flag.
……
Even Griffin, who normally didn't have the honor in hand, felt ashamed.
Richard, the strongest bishop in history, naturally could not do such a shameful thing.
So there are two flags over the Clippers' home court right now, but the number of flags will definitely increase in the future.
At least next season, Richard has plans to retire Ben's jersey.
The Trail Blazers have publicly said at the press conference that when Big Ben retires, they will definitely retire the jersey of Big Ben, the center of the Triple Crown Dynasty.
And the Lakers don't say anything at the moment, which is not to blame the Lakers, the Lakers have too many retired jerseys at the moment.
O'Neal's jersey will definitely be retired, and Kobe's No. 8 and No. 24 are also expected to be retired, so that the Lakers will have eleven numbers retired......
If too many jerseys are retired, players will not have numbers available, and some players attach great importance to numbers, which will affect the Lakers to bring in powerstars in the future.
FIBA has strict restrictions on jersey numbers, such as 1, 2, and 3 jersey numbers, but these restrictions are gradually being relaxed in the future.
The NBA doesn't have as strict restrictions on jersey numbers as FIBA, but there are certainly restrictions.
According to the league jersey number regulations, the 0-55 jersey can be used freely unless it has been retired by the team.
As for the 55-99 jersey number, if the player wants to use it, he needs to apply to the league, as long as the league agrees, he can use it.
There was also a very interesting thing in this matter, Rodman wanted to use the number 69, but was rejected by the alliance, as for the reason, I naturally understand it, and the explanation that I don't understand is simple, and there is no need to understand......
As for the jersey number above 99, the league rules cannot be used, which means that the league does not allow three-digit jersey numbers.
The biggest all-time NBA jersey number is Lakers legendary center George McCann, whose jersey number is 99.
And if you want to say that the sum of the jersey numbers is the largest, it is Rodman.
No. 10, No. 91, No. 73, and No. 69 were not used, and he used No. 70......
When it comes to jersey numbers, no one in the entire NBA is more agitated than Rodman.
……
It can also be seen from this that the NBA's jersey numbers are not endless, and the Lakers naturally can't retire their jerseys too often, and they also have to think about the future.
Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the Lakers will retire Big Ben's jersey, it doesn't matter, they don't retire, Richard will retire.
Moreover, even if the Lakers retire Big Ben's jersey, Richard will also retire Big Ben's jersey.
Big Ben had a rather special place in Richard's heart.
……
The finals are over, and it's time for the draft to begin.
This time, Richard simply didn't go to the draft and directly told Luke Wharton about his favorite candidate.
The four veterans who joined the Clippers last season have all retired, with Luke Walton remaining with the Clippers as Richard's assistant coach.
As for Kerr, the original head assistant coach, was poached by the Warriors, and it has been proven that Mark Jackson is not the kind of coach who can make a difference in the playoffs, and the Warriors naturally need to seek some changes.
Wharton Jr. is definitely proud, just retired, directly entered Richard's coaching staff, and seems to be quite valued by Richard, even the draft of this kind of thing let him come forward.
In fact, Richard didn't mean that he really valued Wharton Jr. so much, but that he really didn't have the slightest interest in this draft.
The Magic still owe the Clippers a top-10 pick to protect the first-round pick, but the Magic drew the No. 5 pick this year......
Richard is certainly not in a hurry, and the Magic will have to hand over the first-round pick to the Clippers sooner or later.
When trading the Monkeys, the Clippers got a first-round pick from the Grizzlies, but the pick was not high, only the 21st pick in the first round.
The two draft picks that come with it are both 28 picks......
With 21 picks in the first round, 28 picks and a 28th pick in the second round, there are really no players who make Richard feel excited.
Although this draft has good young players such as Downs, Shuila and Boshen, Richard actually doesn't like it at all, or doesn't need it.
If Downs were on Richard's team, he would probably be able to Richard to death......
There's no doubt that Richard is a fairly traditional head coach and he wants his center forward to be able to play the pitch on the inside.
But Downs obviously didn't live up to Richard's requirements......
Even if Towns is the best three-point center in NBA history, Richard doesn't want it.
Of course, if you want to, you can't get it, this is a proper candidate for the champion.
Secondly, Russell, Richard also looked down on it, this thing has a brain, took a video of Yang Shaoxia flirting with his sister and put it on the Internet, causing Yang Shaoxia to break up with his fiancée, Richard doesn't want to keep such a bad guy in the team.
Because Thompson's goods are also not good, maybe he will be pulled by the water one day......
As for Porzingis, he always gave Richard the feeling that he would break into two pieces on the court, and he was too skinny and skinny......
In fact, in Richard's opinion, there is only one player who can really make him like this draft.
That is Myles Turner, nicknamed Indiana Eason Chan.
Some fans may not be familiar with this player and are not too impressed, after all, in terms of popularity, Turner's popularity is really far inferior to the two players in the same position of Downs or Boshen in the same year.
But in terms of strength, Richard believes that this Indiana Eason Chan is not inferior to Downs or Boshen as a whole.
The offense is not as good as the Downs, but the defense is 108,000 times stronger than the Downs......
If you really want to compare, you can compare Turner to Jimmy Butler and Downs to Wiggins, and that's basically the difference between the two.
As for Boshen, he actually defends well, but mainly because it's too brittle and not as durable as Turner.
Turner has three points, has a low post, and the defense is quite good, but unfortunately he was drafted by the Pacers, and this team did not give Turner much tactical position, resulting in his statistics have not been particularly eye-catching.
