    Sadly. He was so good, but he got injured and couldn't heal.

    Saw it yesterday and was really surprised, don't think he should quit just yet, he should tough out the injuries and play another couple years tbh

    Read it yesterday. He was a good player, but the injuries couldn't keep up with him. Only 30-years old and a retired millionaire; that's nice.

    Retired from playing in the NBA, pretty sure he has a ton of other endeavours he's ready to sink his abnormally long limbs into.

    He wasn't really that good, not too surprised about it.

    China will make sure he lives comfortably.

    I've only known him for his height, not for how well he plays. Besides, I don't watch basketball much which is prob why but I don't also hear about him from people for being so "good". He's still young and I respect his choices. He still able to chase other professional careers though but can also live on his current wealth, I believe.

    Name me another center that actually has a great jumpshot. He doesnt just dunk like Howard and O'Niel. He actually has an unstoppable vertical.

    If it werent for injurys him and Tmac woulda raped during their years together.

    Mehmet Okur of the Jazz and Andrea Bargani of the Raptors both have great jumpshots and are both centers.

    Dirk Nowitzki is a Power Forward, not a Center. I have already stated the two centers in the league that can shoot the three and shoot it well.
