Ron Mercer Set To Retire

Postby Jackie Kong on Thu Oct 05, 2006 2:05 am

Seattle Times - Ron Mercer worked out with the Sonics in the offseason and was supposed to report to training camp before suffering a back injury that will force him to retire, the Seattle Times is reporting.

I posted this because i know one member in this forum will be pissed off. ( :::the only mercer fan::: )

Just wanted to write the same thing about Fitzy :)
It's sad to see him retire, I liked his game especially when he was with the Spurs. Still one of my favourite players. I always hoped he can get another shot in the NBA.

I don't find how Fitzy could possibly be hurt with upcomming situation. I mean, for past 3-4 years, Mercer haven't been playing pro basketball and Fitzy was his #1 fan. I don't see why he shouldn't be still.

Not really sad to see him go since I wasnt that big a fan. At least this question poped up in my head...

Who would you rate higher: Ron Harper or Ron Mercer?

Ron Harper... not only does Ron Harper have more championship rings (did Mercer even get one? I forgot..maybe one with his stint with the Spurs) but someone's gotta remember Ron Harper's rookie years.. Harper had some monster stats.

This will just make being a Ron Mercer fan even more hardcore.

Harper > Mercer.

It's sad to see anyone go because of an injury. I still remember him and Billups being the backcourt of the future.

I actually liked Ron Mercer, although he underachieved.

Then again, I like almost every underachiever.

Absolutely. Qyntel Woods, Kedrick Brown, Ndudi Ebi, Tim Thomas, Jerome Moiso and Tyson Chandler make me scream with delight. :)
