First only people who really deserve a legacy in the minds of the public (and not your own personal goals) are special players. James is making the decision of doing something he wants to do and he knows that once he ever leaves it, it's almost impossible to come back. So he always has the chance to leave the sport, but he doesn't really have that same flexibility of coming back.

Understand?

For someone who has a james blake avatar, you seem to be really urging him to retire. A true fan would respect the player's own decisions and not generate threads pushing him towards your own fanatical interests.
