I follow the Mavericks, and I'm a big fan. This season, well, it's nothing to talk about. In fact, I barely know most of the players. Anyway, when I was young, I was a big 76ers fan, mostly of Dr. J. I didn't follow Dallas that much until the Nash/Nowitzki years. Derek Harper just had his number retired. The only memory I truly have of him was when he dribbled the ball out and let the clock tick away NOT realizing the Mavs were down. My questions for Mavericks fans who have followed the team since the beginning. Is Derek Harper "jersey retirement" worthy? I'm not saying he isn't. I'm saying I didn't follow him enough during his career. ...------

I had to look it up, but he is fourth in points, first in assists and first in steals in Mavs history. He played 12 of 16 seasons with them.
Yes, he deserves it.

yes. I don't think he is a hall of famer, but he was one of the most important players in Maverick history, second only to the big German.

As a huge Nav fam I kinda think Dorks is the only one whose number should be retired. Even their championship year they won with a bunch of really good role players, not superstars.

So far it's Brad Davis, Rolando Blackman and Derek Harper.
Clearly, Dirk will have a retired jersey. I'd bet he won't have to wait years and years for it either.
I've looked up the Best Mavericks of all-time, and clearly I don't know enough about any of the old players to opine, including DHarper.

Is there not a jersey for Roy Tarpley? What a waste of talent that was. He was a bad [censored].

Tarpley let his demons and addictions tear his "retirement jersey" to shreds.

What could have been with Tarpley and yes Aguirre could fill it up.

Harper was one of the main reasons the Mavs were tied in the game when he dribbled out the clock. I think he was exhausted and just made a mistake. Deserves it.
