Probable to piss off Lebron? Dan Gilbert is a salty hoe.
Re: Cavs to retire Big Z's No. 11 jersey
Main factor must be loyalty and dedication, was quality player aswell despite in many cases career ending foot injuries.
Re: Cavs to retire Big Z's No. 11 jersey

Teams retires waaay too many numbers. Its pathetic.

Lol, shut up. Not every move the Cavs make is related to LeBron.

Z has meant a lot to the city and the franchise. Sometimes accolades aren't the most important thing. If anyone deserves this, it's him.

I was being sarcastic. Dan Gilbert is still a salty hoe doe.

16 year tenure with the Cavs.
2 time all star.
All-Rookie first team and Rookie game MVP.
17/9 with 2 blocks on 47% was his best season but even that came after multiple foot surgeries. Warrior and fan favorite in all his years.
I'm sure there's worse candidates.
Re: Cavs to retire Big Z's No. 11 jersey
At least he made an Allstar team. A lot more understandable than the Spurs retiring Bruce Bowen's number.

He played 12 years with the Cavs though.
