Mirza Begic retires at 35

Begic: I would describe the years with Real Madrid as the highlight of my career, especially 2013, when we played in the Euroleague final in London, but lost to Olympiacos

Mirza Begic announced his retirement.

The slovenian big man has decided to hang up sneakers at 35.

“I don’t want to go abroad anymore. Wherever I was alone, I felt very cramped. As a result, I couldn’t play at the desired level. Besides, in these circumstances, club contracts aren’t so tempting to risk a year or two without a family”.

Last year Begic played for Mornar Bar.
