Jeff was great on the air. I liked him more then Austin C. I also like to hear what he has to say since he was actually on the team this year

[...] Jeff Foster formally announced his retirement on Monday night. I watched him play in the Blue-and-Gold for 13 seasons. Then I sat in on his retirement press conference. Then watched him do one-on-one after one-on-one with local media. However, I don’t think I quite grasped what was happening until I got the chance to talk to David West about him. [...]

I’m from indianapolis (broad ripple) but live in chicago now. I’ve defended foster countless times as a great NBA player (against ignorant bulls fans). He’s always been a guy I’ve loved to highlight as a representation of all that is wonderful about basketball. sorry if that sounds lame… I’m a few vodka tonics in and off work tomorrow… but foster was a warrior. I’ll miss him, but I hope he sticks around indy long enough to see the pacers resurgence if and when if happens. BBall could rule this city again. Pacers ruled Indiana in the 90s of my childhood, and there’s nothing I’d love more than to see that fan frenzy return. Jeff, please be here long enough to see it if it does.

It never could be expected that the retirement of Jeff Foster would carry the same importance and attention as the recent departure of another Indiana athlete. It won’t be a national story, and its unlikely that as many tears will be shed for his end in a Pacers uniform as there were for Manning’s end with the Colts. Jeff Foster’s number 10 will not hang in the rafters of Banker’s Life Fieldhouse. The Simons won’t roll out a Bentley for him to drive home. Despite all of this, there’s no doubt that Jeff Foster will retire as one of the truest and most authentic embodiments of what it means to be a Pacer in the history of the franchise. His dedication, hard work, perseverance, authenticity, and class will keep him in the hearts of this Pacers fan forever.
