Will Hawks Retire Joe Johnson's Jersey

[Deuce Bigalow]

I know you had to use Wikipedia to pull that up.

My point still stands he's the 2nd best Atlanta Hawk.

Petit played for the St.Louis Hawks long before the merger or the move to Atlanta. They've been there for 40 years or so now.

It's like claiming Gary Payton is the best OKC Thunder player.

St. Louis HAWKS

Still a Hawk dude.

George Mikan is still one of the greatest Lakers

[therammingman]

hell yea they should retire his jersey

[raprap]

Yes. Instead of Johnson, the jersey should say Mediocre.

[I LUV KOBE]

Your team sucks when someone talking about retiring Joe Johnson's Jersey in your arena..

[hawkfan]

Yes.
6 time All-Star. Olympian player. Face of the franchise for 7 seasons.
Yes, his number should be retired.

[GreatHILL]

what did he ever done for the hawks?

[BlackVVaves]

Yes. No doubt about it. 2nd greatest Atlanta Hawks player in their history.

Speaks volumes of how pathetic/irrelevant they have been.

Actually JJ, Smith, & Horford are 3 of the 5 greatest Atlanta Hawks.

They have had other good/great players, but they never lasted long there.

It's always interesting to discover how much some posters really don't know about basketball history.

No one gives a flying **** about the Hawks or whose jerseys they retire..

Funny, seeing as you will be on the Atlanta bandwagon just like you went from the Boston bandwagon to the Oklahoma bandwagon.

U funny man. Atlanta will never have a bandwagon, don't be stupid.

Why did the Thunder have Royal Ivey on the roster, former Hawk?
Why did the Thunder have Nazr Mohammed on the roster, former Hawk?

[BoutPractice]

No reason why they shouldn't, but I've always thought that their true impact player was Josh Smith, even if he keeps getting snubbed for the All-Star game.

[Apocalyptic0n3]

Doesn't matter if he is the second best Hawk or not... he hasn't done anything worthy of having his jersey retired. Jersey retirements should be for the legends of your team, not merely the best players to ever don your jersey.

what did he ever done for the hawks?

-5 Trips to the playoffs
-6 time all-star
-one of the franchise leading scorers

He gets a bad rap for his contract, but the guy is a nice player. Easily a top 5 Hawks imo.
