Chauncey Billups urges Nuggets to retire Carmelo Anthony's jersey

I would say wait until Jokic retires, but yes retire Melo.

Keep in mind Denver was a damn doormat prior to him getting drafted by them.

Imagine retiring a n1ggaz number that demanded to be traded. Thats what these n1ggaz need to understand. U move from team to team and u have no home to go back to.

Has this happened before? 2 bonafide 1st ballot HOF wit Melo and Jokic same number for same franchise?

melo shouldn't have been a bonafied 1st ballot hof though

even coupling him with jokic prestige wise is outrageous

Who cares chauncy

Worry about them damn trailblazers

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Not that I agree/disagree with Chauncey, but ever since Jokic pushed Melo into the background of that franchise, there's been this narrative of trying to get Melo back into the picture on some participation trophy shyt.

It's especially wild given the terms that Melo and the Nuggets parted ways.

 

[NormanConnors]

Jokic should have never had the # in the first place

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Retire both in separate ceremonies

Knicks need to retire the 7 for melo too

Timing fukked it up for him
A better player came to the franchise and reclaimed that number while Melo was still in the league. It's not his anymore
The "Jokic should have never got the number" would make more sense if Melo was already retired. It's not the Nuggets fault a second rounder wanted that number and ended up the best player in franchise history. What's the precedent for this? Even if it's some kind of joint retirement it's not going to hit the same and at that point it's a disservice to Jokic
