| Matt Harpring of the Utah Jazz may retire.
This guy was a fantastic shooter off the curl he rarely missed. Harp is also one of the toughest SOB's in the NBA he never backs down to nobody and his hustle and defensive tenacity is phenomenal. This guy had more grit and heart than most and for being known for a defensive player (who wrongfully never gets the credit that Bowen, Artest, Battier, etc.) get he is also a good offensive player as well scoring in double digits most of his career. He was the heart and soul of the Jazz bench for a few seasons and their only form of toughness of any kind.
Harp had two micro-fracture knee surgeries, two or three other knee scopes (cleanup), ankle surgeries, and back and hip issues. What I appreciated most about Matt is that no matter how many injuries he had (plus wear and tear) he always played 100% hard and relentless. He would play on one leg. Hell, he would crawl just to get up in someone's grill if he had to. | |

| I remember him actually.
He wasn't too shabby from what I recall. He must be retiring due to nagging injuries. | |

His time has passed, but he was good while he was in the NBA. | |
