Never did I think that I\u2019d play for this club for so many years because it\u2019s a really demanding club to play for. I\u2019m really proud and happy to say that I\u2019ve been here for 17 seasons and been captain for 16 of them. I\u2019ve given my all out on the court.

Never did I dream of winning two\u00a0<strong>EuroLeagues<\/strong>; lifting as many trophies as I did throughout my career; receiving so much affection and love from the fans; being a world and European champion; and playing in Olympic finals. I\u2019ve had so many great moments throughout my career that I\u2019m lucky enough that I can\u2019t single one out. As I\u2019ve always said, it\u2019s all well and good to win trophies, but the hardest part is to receive affection from you, my teammates, the fans, the coaching staff\u2026 That\u2019s ultimately what you take away with you and what makes you proud\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m_text_content\">\n<div class=\"cap\"><strong>Legacy he leaves behind basketball<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI leave with the feeling of having the respect of all of my opponents.

I\u2019ve spent many years at\u00a0<strong>Real Madrid<\/strong>, there\u2019s been a lot of rivalry and that moment was really moving for me. I\u2019ve been moved by messages and everything that\u2019s said on social media about me.
