Shane Battier Retiring at the End of Season

[sammichoffate]

Motivation for the Heat though.

[kamil]

Heat's respect for the game will be more credible after;

Goodbye ya flopping bum.

[Genaro]

Link?

[JellyBean]

Classy guy. I can see him becoming a politician or a college professor.

[toooo]

Floppier. Heat might earn some respect back.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

could get into coaching. i remember he had like a 50 page binder of notes for when he played kobe.

[wildchild]

Well retire then, without this guy OKC would have won 2012 nba finals. This guy has been possessed hitting every damn threes he shot during that series.

[SpecialQue]

This piece of shit said the same exact thing last year.

[Megabox!]

I don't think they care too much about your respect and I'm pretty sure the rest of the league respects them.

Yes. Shane Battier is retiring after season. No more equivocating.

[$LakerGold]

There goes another player from my childhood....

[sammichoffate]

This piece of shit said the same exact thing last year.Wasn't aware :oldlol:

[WesWelkerACL]

The less Shane Battier on my television the better. There's just something about the guy.

[Heavincent]

Good riddance.

[no pun intended]

i lold

[JerryWest]

No one will miss you!

[zoom17]

I like Battier even though he played like shit this season.

[toooo]

I don't think they care too much about your respect and I'm pretty sure the rest of the league respects them.

Don't make me pull out the Floppier videos.

[$LakerGold]

Hand on your face.

Kobe stans everywhere.

....

[Rose'sACL]

Don't make me pull out the Floppier videos.

Disgrace to the game.

[BasedTom]

So many scumbags ITT. LOL at the spurs and OKC cvnts still salty that shane and the Heat defeated their team in the finals.

A Heat player could donate his entire salary to charity and you would still find a way to spin the story to fit your agenda.

[All Net]

:applause: always will be remembered as a rocket, glad he got himself a ring. Nothing but respect for Battier cause he always gave us 100% while he was in a Rockets uni.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Good, there's no bigger per 36 flopper in NBA history. Shar pei looking ***** ass head.

[Patrick Chewing]

Shane was more ripped at Duke than in the pro's.

Just a weird, nerdy fella all around.

[Nash]

A lot of guys from the Heat will be retiring or leaving at the end of this season while somebody like Ray Allen may stick around for one more season with the min vet. I'm really interested in seeing how Miami will be next season. They will for sure be much better and replace the old guys with some younger legs and fixing all the weaknesses they have.

And maybe, just maybe, whoever gets the Mike Miller contract this time around can contribute more.

About Shane, one of the best and coolest guys in the league. One of my favorites, so intelligent and genuinely nice person.

And a champ!

[HylianNightmare]

wish him the best but i'll be happy seeing him retired

[CelticBaller]

This piece of shit said the same exact thing last year.
seriously
fck that guy

[jzek]

He said the same after last season.

[Uncle Drew]

It's about damn time, hate that guy with a passion.

[STATUTORY]

Didn't know batter was so hated, I actually like him, type of clean cut broths I wanna see at my door to take my daughter to her prom

[Basketbolero]

He retired in 2011 to me. All the best to him though

[Marlo_Stanfield]

how can you hate Battier if you are not a Heat fan:biggums: :biggums:
only thing to hate about him is his pathetic showing the last two seasons minus Game 7 of last years finals

[Uncle Drew]

He seems like a dude you could drink a beer with. Point being, he is a massive dick on the court. The way he plays is so cringeworthy and frustrating.

[pegasus]

This. I hate guys like him who just stands right outside the circle and flops at every little contact. Takes too much away from the game. Refs reward cowards like him instead of the guy who makes it to the basket.

I'm glad Kobe made him his bitch so many times in his career. Good riddance.

Are you delusional? Don't you remember how many 3's he made in 2012 finals? He was one of the difference makers, only second to the refs.

[ROCSteady]

The less Shane Battier on my television the better. There's just something about the guy.


This is how I feel. Good riddance. I remember tweeting during the MIA-OKC Finals that I was actively cheering against the Heat, one of the reasons was I didn't want him to get a ring. :oldlol:

Fck that Dukie Devil.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Are you delusional? Don't you remember how many 3's he made in 2012 finals? He was one of the difference makers, only second to the refs.
i am talking about the last two seasons.
last season and this season.

[pegasus]

i am talking about the last two seasons.
last season and this season.
So now the regular season matters? I thought you guys were all about the playoffs and the finals mainly.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

So now the regular season matters? I thought you guys were all about the playoffs and the finals mainly.
he played good onj offense in ONE game the last playoffs.
but yeah hes another superstar from the stacked Heat squad, i know:coleman:

[DaSeba5]

I guess I'll be in the minority (like always as a Heat fan) in missing him. He was a classy guy and a real professional. I will always appreciate his 2012 Finals and game 7 performance in the 2013 Finals. Good luck, Battier.
