Sebastian Telfair wants Celtics to unretire #31

Boston Herald - Recently acquired point guard Sebastian Telfair wants to ask Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell to request that the Celtics unretire his jersey number 31.

Telfair has always worn the number because he’s from 31st Street in Brooklyn, but the number was retired by the Celtics in Maxwell's honor.

“I just got his phone number,” Telfair said. “I’m going to call him.”

What a moron.. that's quite possibly one of the most disrespectful things you could do. That's like JR Smith asking the Bulls to retire #23.

[J@3]

I just read this on RealGM. Who exactly does he think he is

[Cloudy]

Well he has a movie, Maxwell doesn't.. I think he's just kidding

[sdude]

Who exactly does he think he is

he’s from 31st Street in Brooklyn

[Donatello]

Do you have a link for this? I have to believe he's joking.

Wow, he's smart. Asking a Celtics legend to unretire a number just because he was from some stinking street address? He's gonna have a lot of hate mail.

[j.23]

well he is related to marbury..

they should just send him away to the NBDL for laughs

[RSox]

That's like JR Smith asking the Bulls to retire #23.

Not quite. Jordan was the best.

[Silas]

Ya its not like Telfair knows anything about the guy who wore 31.

[dada]

That guy should laugh in his face. What a cocky guy, hasnt even made a big enough name for himself yet.

[Its_asdf]

Telfair hasn't even started 31 games in a season yet, so I think it is quite egotisitical of him to ask of Boston to unretire a number for him, especially since it is a sign of respect and sort of sacred to have a jersey retired in the rafters.

[cklitsie]

At least he has a good excuse "don't worry Ced, they won't retire MY 31 anyway so you'll still be the only one.."

[Buckley]

I think he should just go with 30 (his reported summer league jersey number, which can be found here.) Shaq didnt get 32 with the Lakers, neither did Karl Malone, so why does he believe that he should be able to take a guys retired jersey number?

[BIG GREEN]

what a jackass

It seems this kid is still stuck in 2003 and thinks he's still worth a lick. Someone give him a chin check and wake him the fuck up.

[iG®]

I would like to hear that phonecall.... Hi, I'm Sebastian, would you like Boston to unretire your jersey in my favour...

[nets4life]

hah, what a dumbass. hes got no chance

[Fitzy]

what an idiot, he cant just come in and take over like that

[Andrew]

That certainly shows a lack of respect for Cedric "Cornbread" Maxwell, the MVP of the 1981 Finals.

[noodle]

Not happenin Bassy. Dumbass. Even big superstars won't do that...

[-BHZMAFIA-]

It'll be funny if he just refuses to play if he can't get the number he wants and demands a trade. It will be just another Steve Francis.

LMFAO . ..I know right

[koberulz]

who's got more chance? telfair or the guy sueing MJ?

[Null17]

Now I'm 100% sure that he is related to Marbury

[The X]

Telfair's an idiot....for him to even ask that, is a lack of respect for the tradition of the game & its elders

here's hoping Delonte & Rondo play all the minutes at PG in Beantown

[Jeffx]

what a jackass

I hope Cornbread tells him where to go. I can't take some of these young players. Sh!t, I don't think he'll even last in Boston.

Telfair's a legend in his own mind, just like his cousin "Starbury".
