He got his money and good for him but i really thought he was going to be a big time scorer in the league.

Rip is officially retired. Ray, maybe. Emeka, maybe, probably not.Somewhat related - will Emeka, Rip, or Ray ever play again?
No doubt he had some good years but i expected more from him. He had a great playoff series that i thought was going to be his coming out party to being an all star and one of the better scorers in the league but it just never really happened.I did, too, especially when he was a big-time scorer in the league. Ben declined early, but let's not forget how good he was with Chicago.

I thought Ben would be an absolute star; a 25ppg scorer. He had his moments when he was unstoppable but those moments were few and far between. Still, 10 years in the pros and an assload of money is a hell of a career.
He made more money in the last 11 years than 99.99999999% of boneyard posters. He worked his ass off to get there. Are you really going to call him lazy for wanting to cash in his chips and live on easy street for the next 60 years? Which one of us wouldn't choose that path if we had it available? I sure as f$ck would.it would be straight up lazy for him to be crap the last 3-4 years of his career then retire at 32 after no serious injuries, but if he entered the nba to chase a check good for him.
If melo wasn't on the Knicks Id say get him and let him shoot whenever and wherever
Only retire AFTER you've suffered a serious injury, duh!He made more money in the last 11 years than 99.99999999% of boneyard posters. He worked his ass off to get there.

it KILLS me to wish this on him, but the knicks need a SG, not a big $$$ drop, and it's essentially hometown. There could be a worse scenario.
I sure would to, but i just feel like he could have left on a better note. people will remember his terrible cha/detroit/orlando years/poison pill contracts than his exceptional ability to play basketball.He made more money in the last 11 years than 99.99999999% of boneyard posters.
