Jodie Meeks retires at 35. Meeks has played 18 games with the Raptors 905 in G League last season.<\/p>\n
Per USA Basketball, This past season, his Toronto connections led him to play 18 games for Raptors 905 in the NBA G League. Jodie Meeks also played this summer in the Big3, but he says he has \u201cofficially retired\u201d from pro ball, making this opportunity a little more special. \u201cI\u2019m young, but in basketball, I\u2019m a little older,\u201d Meeks said matter-of-factly. \u201cI\u2019m no spring chicken anymore. But that\u2019s OK. I can still move, I still feel like I can still play. And obviously I\u2019m out here doing well. So for my career, it\u2019s definitely been a good one and this will be the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n
Meeks\u2019 next hoops adventure will be as an assistant coach with the Birmingham Squadron, the New Orleans Pelicans\u2019 G League affiliate. \u201cObviously, you want to play as long as possible and then when it\u2019s over, it\u2019s hard to just give it up cold turkey,\u201d Meeks said. \u201cSo you want to stay around the game, whether that\u2019s broadcasting or coaching or front office. But I felt like coaching was my calling card because I felt like I have so much to give to the younger generation on just the mental aspect of basketball \u2014 shooting, coverages, all those types of things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
