At this point, Matt Bonner is the only retired Spurs player to spend ten or more years with the franchise and not have his jersey retired. Whether or not No. 15 will eventually hang in the rafters of the AT&T Center remains to be seen (it would be no surprise either way), but for now the Mamba’s former team made sure he was remembered by retiring one of his flannel shirts in a private locker room ceremony after last night’s game. Never change, Spurs.
The Legacy of The Red Mamba
After Bonner announced his retirement from the NBA last week (and before it was announced that he would join the Spurs broadcast team), the staff over at BBallBreakdown discussed the legacy of Big Red (as they call him) from what he brought to the Spurs as a whole, to his funniest and most Bonnafide moments both on and off the court.
