On his social channels, the now former Spanish player posted a moving farewell letter, accompanied by a video in which he retraces some magical moments of his career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With this video ends an incredible journey, a journey that I never thought I would live until I was 39 years old as a professional basketball player.<br \/>\nI retire with the feeling that I was an important player for every team or club I played for.<br \/>\nI never dreamed that I would fly so fast, so high, and compete one-on-one with anyone in front of me. I will miss you on the field, but now I have to forge a new path and be with my family more than ever. But I will always enjoy this wonderful sport.<br \/>\nThank you all for flying by my side&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">Con este video termina un viaje incre\u00edble, un viaje que ni mucho menos pensaba vivir hasta los 39 a\u00f1os como jugador profesional de BALONCESTO.<br \/>\nMe RETIRO con la sensaci\u00f3n de haber sido un jugador comprometido con cada equipo o club en el que he estado.<br \/>\nNunca so\u00f1\u00e9 con volar tan\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iDcQLhUJOt\">pic.twitter.com\/iDcQLhUJOt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rudy Fernandez (@rudy5fernandez) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rudy5fernandez\/status\/1824386463510770102?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 16, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rudy Fernandez, the video in which he reviews his career, with his farewell letter to playing basketball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":266971,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[305,199],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[187],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-400878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-acb","category-euroleague","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/03\/2021Doniselli16dicembre169.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400878"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=400878"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=400878"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=400878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
