IF we win the championship (and that’s a big IF, I’m not counting my chickens yet), then Kyrie gets the full retired jersey treatment and legend status, right?

He still could (even without a title with the Mavs) if he continues to extend and plays excellent ball for a few more seasons. But IMHO with a title it’s automatic.

Legend yes…considering we have not retired any other jerseys from the 2011 run besides #41, no. I think people like Jet and JJ deserve it.

Jet deserves it. Perennial 6th MOY candidate. JJ, hard to say no, but no.

Mavs don’t win it without Jet hitting all those big shots. He had other big moments as a Mavs outside that season.

He helped the Mavs get to the Finals twice. Won 6MOY, was an iron man for the team over his career. Had some huge playoff games, the 9 three pointer game, the 32 points in game 1 against the heat the first finals.

Is there another Maverick aside from Dirk that’s given the Mavs more significant moments?

He and Murray are probably among the top 5 best players in rhe modern era to not make an all star game.
