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.
作为职业运动员会经历两个阶段，第一是当你不能再从事这项运动时，
我花了两年时间才接受事实并宣布退役。
从斯洛文尼亚的一个小村庄来到了NBA，连续13年在NBA征战并获得2次总冠军，
这是我作梦都没想到的，我很喜欢这旅程中的每一分钟。
从16岁起，篮球就成为我职业生涯的一部分，希望我永远不会放弃它。
现在我想成为一名教练，就像我小时候梦想成为一位职业球员一样，
我希望将我所学的知识分享给下一代，就像许多教练曾对我做过的事那样。
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
感谢一路上支持我的球迷和所有人，尤其是我的家人。
有幸在能在鹈鹕执教开启我人生第二段旅程。
