Bob Petit retired after 11 season, only 32 years old and he left still very productive. 12.4 rpg and 22.5 ppg his last season.

He was only 31 and went out with a 20 PPG season. And the year before that had a 21/6/5 season.

No knee cartilage left in either knee. He said he was having problems walking around Disneyland with his kids.

I disagree. Kobe Bryant lit him up in the '08 West Finals, he was God awful the start of the 08-09 season, and was benched the rest of that season.
