Be it La Rioja, Bahía Blanca, Reggio Calabria, Bologna or San Antonio and also with the National Team every tournament we played. Thank you for the late hours watching games and for the constant affection until the last day. Rio was unbelievable, my last season in SA and jersey retirement night, too. Unforgettable. To the NBA for providing this extraordinary stage to do what we love. David Stern first, Adam Silver now and the countless amount of people that help make it the best sports league in the world. I admire you and am very proud of having been part of it for so long. Let’s keep growing and popularizing this beautiful game! Opponents: They created the challenge and I loved it! They helped me get better as much as my teammates and coaches. They got the best out of me and I appreciated their competitiveness, skill and character. Espil, Campana, Milanesio, DeLaFuente, Racca in Argentina. Bodiroga, Jaric, Gasol, Navarro, Calderón, Spanoulis, Papaloukas, Huertas, Machado. Barbosa, Basile, Pozzeco, Fucka, Meneghin to just name a few in FIBA, and of course the NBA ones. Such a huge privilege to have gone and competed so many times with guys like Kobe, Lebron, Dirk, SteveNash, JasonKidd, Vince, TMac, AI, KD, Steph, Klay, Carmelo, DWade, JHarden, Shaq, Ray Allen, DFisher, Metta World Peace, Westbrook, Raja, Chauncey, CP3 and could really keep going for a long time. Thank you all VERY MUCH! Michael Jordan: I only played 5” against him (thank you again Pop!), but it didn’t matter. Such an inspiration! Remember watching the VHS collection and sprinting to the court to try to do some of those things. I used to talk to his life size poster in my bedroom after games! Paulo Maccari: Te lo dije ni bien me retiré, pero lo repito hoy cuatro años después. Gracias por tu profesionalismo y dedicación. No solo no tengo dudas que extendiste mi carrera al menos un par de años, si no que también te debo parte de mi bienestar físico actual. Me ayudaste a comer, a recuperarme y a prepararme mejor en la última parte de mi carrera. Fisio, chef, niñero, primo y amigo. Gracias!」9月10日 3時00分
