And we all know we'll meet Zalgiris for a decisive game 5 with them leading 94-91 with 2.2 on the clock..and we don't have Derrick anymore!!!

Hopefully Tanoka Beard and Giedrius Gustas won't be there too

Overall, respect to Sharp, great person and player

Indeed the shot that comes to my mind whenever I think of Sharp.
Respect to a legend for which I almost wasn't sure he'd actually retire one day!

 

[MaccabiTA2]

I don't believe he retired.. It always seemed near impossible
The memories will stay in our mind forever, especially the Zalgiris miracle.
I really hope Maccabi would retire a number for the first time, no one can do what he did, no one can be what he was for us fans, if he won't wear jersey number 6 again, no one should.

Let's not be over-dramatic, Sharp retired de-facto a couple of years ago ( 5 min per game in Israeli league is a retirement)

Glad the management found a job within the system for him . Funny thing : both "Zalgiris miracle" creators Gur Shelef & Derrick Sharp are still with Maccabi.

Over-dramatic?

Over-dramatic?

It seems you're saved from reading Israeli basketball press. It was "the end of the world is near" all over the place.

Personally I think Derrick is a little late with this retirement : he's too good of a player to be some sort of mascot, entertaining the fans in garbage time.

Anyways, looking behind , it was a great career of a great person.

Legend as a player, and hopefully we'll see him on the sidelines as headcoach sooner or later. Seems to have the basketball mind & motivational skills to succeed there.

Oh, I thought you meant the posts here. Although, I do agree that Sharp hasn't really made a difference on the team for some time, he is still a legend and should be remembered. Though the world is not ending, well not till 2012.

Sharp's retirement is one of the signs that the world's going to end soon
The next sign would be Maccabeo saying a good thing about Maccabi
