Is Josh Green getting into the Ring of Honor because of the Bronze medal? I’m confused…

Re: Game #27 vs Utah
Seems pretty lame reason, but whatever. Steve Kerr getting his jersey retired for being the most inspirational is similar, same with Jason Gardner being FOY along with the Pomeroy best player under 6' award.
Re: Game #27 vs Utah
Yes I think everyone agrees Steve Kerr should not be in the rafters. LOL. He is actually in for multiple reasons including time in the NBA.

Re: Game #27 vs Utah
Green has a good chance to play 10+ years in the NBA, as well. Important role player for the Mavs.
Looks like Solomon Hill will get in for that reason and not for being 2x First-team All-PAC-12.

Re: Game #27 vs Utah
Jersey retirement has nothing to do with the NBA. If you think Most Inspirational is a qualification for NPOY well then nothing I can say that will change your mind. Not saying Kerr isn't deserving, just saying that the requirements don't really fit.

The MOP is new too. Miles did not qualify for years.
Jersey Recognitions
Only student-athletes and letterwinners who meet the following criteria are eligible to have their jersey recognized. Names should be submitted to the ICA Heritage Committee.
Must already be inducted into the University of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame as an individual
Must meet one of the following criteria:
Received a national player of the year award
Received a major national “athlete of the year” honor
Have been inducted into The National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame
Named Most Outstanding Player at an NCAA Division I Championship for Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball or Volleyball

They’re packing the paint and daring us to shoot. I feel like I’ve seen this movie a few times.

Tubelis has jacked two 3's (and missed) already. This crap has to stop.
If I were a suspicious man I would say he is trying to create some highlight videos for the NBA.

Hopefully the slow start won't get into Zu's head. Looks pretty bad so far, a repeat of his fade last season.
