They say professional athletes die two deaths- the first being when you’re
unable to play the sport any longer. It has taken me 2 long years to accept
and announce my retirement from playing basketball. Coming from a small
village in Slovenia to playing 13 consecutive years in the NBA and winning 2
championships, is more than I could have dreamed of and I loved every minute
of it. Basketball has been a part of my life professionally since I was 16
years old, and is something I hope I never have to give up. I now want to be
a coach just as badly as I wanted to be a professional player back when I was
a kid. I hope to share my knowledge and guide the next generation, just as
many coaches did for me.

作為職業運動員會經歷兩個階段，第一是當你不能再從事這項運動時，
我花了兩年時間才接受事實並宣布退役。

從斯洛維尼亞的一個小村莊來到了NBA，連續13年在NBA征戰並獲得2次總冠軍，
這是我作夢都沒想到的，我很喜歡這旅程中的每一分鐘。

從16歲起，籃球就成為我職業生涯的一部分，希望我永遠不會放棄它。
現在我想成為一名教練，就像我小時候夢想成為一位職業球員一樣，
我希望將我所學的知識分享給下一代，就像許多教練曾對我做過的事那樣。


Thank you to the fans & everyone that supported me along the way, especially
my family.

Blessed to be coaching with the @pelicansnba for my second season

感謝一路上支持我的球迷和所有人，尤其是我的家人。

有幸在能在鵜鶘執教開啟我人生第二段旅程。
