Extremely well deserved , congratulations Damien Martin

Congrats Damo! Well deserved. Club legend.

Probably should have had 7 or 8. :D

Adam Gibson for South won in 2008/2009 with 1spg and 3.2rpg (2.3 defensive) over 33 games.
Damo for West Sydney/Sydney Spirit had 1.9spg and 5.4rpg (3.1 defensive) over 22 games.
I remember conversations with Stumps, Nerf Herder and Cesar, possibly the only people still attending Sydney games (too soon? :D) about just how incredible this guy was. I didn't truly understand until I had the opportunity to see him on a regular basis.

Dillon Boucher for NZB won in 2009/2010 with 1.3spg, 0.4bpg and 5.2rpg (2.6 defensive) over 28 games.
Damo for Perth had 1.6spg, 0.3bpg and 4.6rpg (2.9 defensive) over 33 games when Perth won the championship that season. I especially remember this one as it was Damo's first season in Perth and we as fans were livid.

Hard to argue against Kevin Lisch and Torrey Craig in the years they broke his streak. By the time Bogut won his Damo was on the decline, so that was fair even if it did feel like the league pandering to his ego. XD

On the other side his 2017/2018 win was probably the sentimental one to get him the record. Tokoto, Kay (for ILL) and Prather (for MU) all had strong cases to feel robbed based on statistics.

Is there anyone else that would have their number retired?

Greg Hire?
Jesse Wagstaff?
Bryce Cotton (based on current tenure)?

Wagstaff is a lock, eventually. Hire isn't even first in line for a retired Wildcats #4.

Was giving this some thought recently. I think Paul Rogers should be seriously considered as he was the first Wildcat to win the league MVP.

Shout out to Damo's U14 team as well for not being excluded from participating in junior competition otherwise he may have never developed into a NBL champion and perennial DPoY winner.

It's been discussed at length in other forums, but it is borderline criminal that the Cats have never retired #55. An entire generation in this state love the sport and that team because of how much he changed the basketball landscape in WA. Based on direct conversations with those in the know - the Ellis family and to a lesser extent Vlahov are the main reasons it has never happened and will never happen if they have anything to do with it. Pretty poor form indeed

If it weren't for Bob Williams, Bruton would be an irrelevancy. He played three seasons, that's it.

The new hall of fame thing is far more appropriate than a jersey retirement.

Bruton number should be retired before Rogers

Outside of his playing days , the fact he brought the team 3 corner stone players

2 half of Hame one Hall of shame , his son , our first championship .

Literally hall marked a style of play which put bums on seats,drew revenue and set up the club

His self marketing/marketing of the club / players brought awareness to this organisation X sport, in a town at the time which was football crazy

The disrespect cal has received from this organisation is amazing and literally embarrasin

Rogers was a 1 and done , never did shxt after that first year

Cal has received more respect every where else but Perth , interesting enough imnsiorised he never got a job or role as a commentator that man can talk his ass off

I've been watching too much cricket lately. I spent too long trying to remember what right-handed middle-order batsman Damien Martyn's jersey number was.....

Greg Hire is a lock

I was waiting for you. Better late than never.
