It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from professional basketball. This decision has been one of the toughest I’ve ever had to make, but after much contemplation and reflection, I believe it is the right step for me at this point in my life.
Basketball has been my passion since I was a child. From the moment I picked up a ball, I knew that this sport would shape my life in ways I could have never imagined. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to achieve many of my dreams, from playing at the highest level to representing my country on the international stage.
However, as much as I love the game, I have come to realize that there are other priorities in life that require my attention and dedication. Family, health, and personal well-being are all aspects that I cannot afford to neglect any longer. The demands of being a professional athlete have taken a toll on me both physically and mentally, and I believe it is time for me to prioritize my long-term health and happiness.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey. To my coaches, teammates, and all the staff members who have been by my side, thank you for pushing me to be the best version of myself every single day. To the fans, your unwavering support and passion for the game have meant the world to me, and I will forever cherish the memories we’ve created together.
While my time on the court may be coming to an end, I am excited about the next chapter of my life. I am eager to explore new opportunities and challenges, and I am confident that whatever path I choose to take, I will approach it with the same dedication and determination that I brought to the game of basketball.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you have shown me over the years. It has been an incredible journey, and I am grateful to have shared it with each and every one of you.
