Do you retire Finely's number?

Well, someone suggested that I place a poll when I asked this question after he resigned with SA. imo, I think you have to because, honestly, hw is more deservant than Brad Davis was. And you can say what you want about Dirk, but it was Finley who brought the Mavs out of those tough years in the 90's. Aalthough Dirk may go down as the greatest Mav ever, I think Finley is tied for 2nd with Rolando. Lastly, I'd  like to finish by saying that the amount of class and proffesionalism that he brought and still brings to the game was second to none, and imo, despite I'm only 17, Finley has been my favorite player to play for any oof our DFW teams.....

I think it's tough

I’d be more emphatic if Fin-dawg was retiring a Mav. But alas, he is not. Ironic, we would be the team to retire his jersey, but not the one that got him a championship ring…dammit.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you come in first.

not only did he not get a championship with us

but he got it with the spurs of all teams… thats my only hesitation with this… still though, he played through some tough years in Dallas, and I think should he be accepting, he deserves it.

i would

he helped bring relevance back to the mavs. you can’t overlook that. also, i wouldn’t punish the guy for going to a winner after being cut by a team he’d been with for nine seasons.
