Shane Battier Retiring at the End of Season

[Patrick Chewing]

Shane was more ripped at Duke than in the pro's.



Just a weird, nerdy fella all around.

[Nash]

A lot of guys from the Heat will be retiring or leaving at the end of this season while somebody like Ray Allen may stick around for one more season with the min vet. I'm really interested in seeing how Miami will be next season. They will for sure be much better and replace the old guys with some younger legs and fixing all the weaknesses they have.

And maybe, just maybe, whoever gets the Mike Miller contract this time around can contribute more.

About Shane, one of the best and coolest guys in the league. One of my favorites, so intelligent and genuinely nice person.

And a champ!

[HylianNightmare]

wish him the best but i'll be happy seeing him retired

[CelticBaller]

This piece of shit said the same exact thing last year.

seriously
fck that guy

[jzek]

He said the same after last season.

[Uncle Drew]

It's about damn time, hate that guy with a passion.

[STATUTORY]

Didn't know batter was so hated, I actually like him, type of clean cut broths I wanna see at my door to take my daughter to her prom

[Basketbolero]

He retired in 2011 to me. All the best to him though

how can you hate Battier if you are not a Heat fan
only thing to hate about him is his pathetic showing the last two seasons minus Game 7 of last years finals

He seems like a dude you could drink a beer with. Point being, he is a massive dick on the court. The way he plays is so cringeworthy and frustrating.

This. I hate guys like him who just stands right outside the circle and flops at every little contact. Takes too much away from the game. Refs reward cowards like him instead of the guy who makes it to the basket.

I'm glad Kobe made him his bitch so many times in his career. Good riddance.

Are you delusional? Don't you remember how many 3's he made in 2012 finals? He was one of the difference makers, only second to the refs.

[ROCSteady]

The less Shane Battier on my television the better. There's just something about the guy.

This is how I feel. Good riddance. I remember tweeting during the MIA-OKC Finals that I was actively cheering against the Heat, one of the reasons was I didn't want him to get a ring.

Fck that Dukie Devil.

i am talking about the last two seasons.
last season and this season.

So now the regular season matters? I thought you guys were all about the playoffs and the finals mainly.
