Aldridge miretiro’g kalit
Gianunsyo sa bag-ong sakop sa Brooklyn Nets nga si LaMarcus Aldridge nga nakadesisyon siyang moretiro sa National Basketball Association (NBA) aron makatutok sa kahimsog sa panglawas ug pamilya.
Matod sa 35 anyos nga beteranong magduduwa nga nakasinati siya og irregular heartbeat sa labing ulahi niyang pagduwa ug mas nigrabe pa kini pagkagabii.
Gidala sa ospital si Aldridge niadtong higayuna.
“Though I am better now, what I felt with my heart that night was still one of the scariest things I’ve experienced,” matod ni Aldridge.
“With that being said, I’ve made the difficult decision to retire from the NBA. For 15 years I’ve put basketball first, and now, it’s time to put my health and my family first.”
Gihisgutan ni Aldridge ang iyang mga kaagi sa NBA nga alang kaniya dili niya mahimong ilubong sa kalimot.
“I thank Portland for drafting a skinny, Texas kid and giving him a chance. The city of Portland has given me some unforgettable years,” matod ni Aldridge.
“They will always remain in my heart. I want to thank the Spurs for letting me into the family and giving me 5 fun years. Last but not least, I want to thank Brooklyn. You wanted me for me.”
Gipasabot ni Aldridge nga ganahan unta siyang makatabang sa kampanya sa Nets apan tungod ning iyang desisyon, nangayo na lang siya og pasaylo.
“In a game that’s changing so much, you asked me to come and just do what I do which was good to hear. I’m sorry it didn’t get to last long, but I’ve definitely had fun being a part of this special group,” dugang ni Aldridge.
Sa kasamtangang season, si Aldridge nag-average og 13.5 puntos, 4.5 rebounds, ug 1.9
assists matag duwa.
