Coletrain06 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I think the player's heart is in the right place, but I think it's pretty stupid....... I agree with the deceased player's parents. Records are meant to be broken. He could've given a nice tribute to the player if he broke the record. What's the point of having a dead person hold a record that could be broken except for players intentionally avoiding breaking the record...... It's a nice sentiment, but it's really dumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Player did what he felt was right, and to me shows utmost respect. Not seeing the other side, as a former player from the 80s it’s rare form to see this type of sportsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbcaptiron Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Me ..take the shot clean thinking of it the whole time...see what luck happens..and good luck If it goes in, make sure you give the best fitting tribute you can...whoever else may break it may not even care to do 'that job' right so... I'm not gonna call it silly though, nothing wrong with letting a good name hang on the wall a little longer either... Either way is acceptable...

BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Certainly a feel good moment for me anyways, judging by the comments I don’t speak for others that’s certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ. My guess is that before you even took the shot, nerves and puckered ass would have manifested, with eventual approbation given to the EMTs who wheeled you off the court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a feel good moment.........but you could have had an equally emotional and probably more powerful moment if he broke the record and paid tribute.... which would make much more sense in the spirit of competition, statistics and accomplishments.

Like I said, I don't speak for others, win on both sides... maybe. I think the tribute by missing will be more durable than if he made it then missed down the line, then it becomes about that player and not the decedent, however somebody posted the decedent's family not too happy. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coletrain06 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I agree with the family of the deceased player. “Christopher would want him to do to the best he could do and stay after it, but that was Jordan’s decision, and if that’s what he wanted to do, then we appreciate it. We certainly in the future want him to get another shot at it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
