Vlade Divac
The Sacramento Kings retired Vlade Divac's, otherwise known as Floppy Divac's jersey yesterday. I'm not sure how that decision came about...he played for the Lakers his first 7 years in the NBA while only playing for the Kings for 6 years. Furthermore, during his tenure in Sacramento they never made it past the Lakers in the playoffs. What goes into a teams decision to retire a jersey? I hate the Sacramento Kings.
Side note: Vlade smoked more than a pack of cigarettes a day during his professional career. If nothing else, that's a little impressive.
