Scan the list MBA fans and you'll see some pretty major names will be leaving the league at the conclusion of Season 42.
The hardest hit team and most noteworthy regarding retirements is two-time defending champion Oklahoma City, which will be losing the greatest center of all time, Hall of Famer Max Payne, along with star point guard Ginger Vampire, arguably a borderline Hall of Famer himself.
Seattle, the league's oldest team, lost the most players with four, including a pair of starters in forward Jairo Capoeira and longtime Tyler favorite center Naceg Gecan.
Dallas lost a pair of starters as well, including the powerful power forward Gulemon Mon-Mon, yet another player who was approaching Hall of Fame status but will now probably fall short.
Sacramento, Los Angeles and Chicago were all hit by a key starter hanging it up.
Four teams, including current powerhouse Charleston, escaped totally, although San Jose lost a good back-up forward.
Although this crop of retirees seems like an especially brutal hit to the MBA talent pool, it must be pointed out that the 12 players lost from MBA rosters falls short of the 18 who hung it up last season.
Nine starters will be retiring after this season, compared to the 10 who retired last season.
