    First name that came to my mind was Avery Johnson. He was a scrub as a player. Now he's a decent coach. Not as good as people make him to be though. He inherited a pretty darn good team. I was tired of hearing how he was fastest to x amount of wins.

    This thread has also seemed to morphed into "these guys must suck because I'm too young to remember that they were actually really good."

    Since it's pretty evident that it's Brad Davis, I'll vote for Bobby Phills as the least deserving. Guy played for Hornets for 3 years, put up decent numbers, and died when he was illegally street racing in a manner that could have killed other innocent people. Why does this warrant his number being retired?

    I'm not, but I know the history of my team. I'm friends with the guy who runs RemembertheABA.com.

    You're not questioning the inclusion of these two are you?

    If so, you need to check some history.

    Yeah, I know. I don't think you should retire a number just because a guy croaked.

    Those were mistakes, I took the entire list and deleted the worthy candidates. I just missed those 2.
