he was still active?
Mash Retires!
Jamal Mashburn retires.
LinkAfter being waived by the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, the former All-Star forward announced his retirement.
Mashburn, 33, had career averages of 19.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 611 games with Dallas (1993-97), Miami (1997-2000) and the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets (2000-04). He was acquired by the 76ers in February 2005, but never played for them due to an injury that was diagnosed as a patella femoral irritation of the knee.
"I've had a long career in the NBA and have enjoyed my experience," Mashburn said. "I look forward to my retirement life. It doesn't mean I am not going to stay busy, but it's time to move on and accomplish some of the goals that I have set for myself. It's bean a great time. I've learned a lot, but now it's time to move on."

This is overdue, which in a way, makes it more regrettable.
I remember seeing his name on the Sixers' inactive list earlier in the month and thought, "Wow, they still have him on the roster?"
One of the greatest fadeaway jumpshooters I can think of. He was great back when he was healthy. I can still remember that 50-point game he had toward the end of his active career. Best of luck, Mash.

Monster Mash was a great talent who suffered a great deal of injuries, the ironic part was his game was extremelly similar to Grant Hill's.
It really makes you wonder why they kept him on the roster all season, like they couldn't have used an extra body. Billy King is a buffoon.

One notch below Grant Hill on the "too bad" meter but it really is too bad. Mashburn was a damn good player and at times a really dominant scorer. Hate to see talents like that go down to injury.

He should've done that after he passed up a WIDE OPEN LOOK to Clarence Weatherspoon, costing the Heat another playoff series to the Knicks.
mash will always be remembered..

Yeah, they could have played that off a bit better. It's not like they couldn't see this coming.Coatesvillain said:It really makes you wonder why they kept him on the roster all season, like they couldn't have used an extra body. Billy King is a buffoon.
Still, never fun to say bye to a player.
Yeah, exactly my thoughts...JNice said:..

i dont, but i felt the need to post about him anyways. lol
If we judge this guy on his merits, he could ball. I loved when he was allowed to play his true game with the Hornets, away from Riley, who in my opinion shacked his game up for the sake of the team. He was most effective, in my opinion, when he worked in the low post. Often, they would feed him down low and he would start the offense from the low post - as he was a great creator, which allowed Baron Davis, to work off the ball and get free from his man for the score.
He had game boys, injuries kind of took the gloss of his ability...

Mash could ball, and I used to love using him in NBA Jam. "Jamal Mashburn" has to be one of the best basketball names ever.
jkidd, jimmy jackson and jamal on the mavs was an awesome sight.
used to love watching the guy play.
too bad he couldnt retire at the end of an active season.
