Hall of fame:
Ainge retired after the 1994–95 season. He was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1999.
Danny Ainge is one of those guys who depending on whom you talk to is either one of the most overrated players of all time or one of the least appreciated. He definitely was not the most popular, but boy could he play. He became a household name when he led BYU to an upset of Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament on a memorable full court drive in 1981; the same year he won the Wooden Award as national player of the year.
Robert Horry:
Vince Carter quitting on the Raptors is usually the first moment most people go to when talking about a player forcing his way out. Well, it was until James Harden visited strip clubs without a mask during a global pandemic.
But both of those may not be the most disrespectful move a player has done to get traded. I present to you Robert Horry in 1997.

Ainge, flanked at a news conference by two Celtics owners and Stevens, said that the decision to step down was entirely his and that he began thinking about doing so two years ago, when he had a heart attack during the 2019 playoffs.
