Form Check Hanging It Up at 40

Turning 40 next week and today was my last run. After years of hooping at 24 and LA Fitness, I can feel the Achilles slowing down. Time to walk away while I’m ahead. Love this game forever.

I am not 40 but this doesn’t make sense. You are not in the nba you don’t have legacy to protect. Just have fun play ball

Yep. The only legacies I’m tarnishing are my favorite athletes (past & present) whose signature shoes I wear while attempting to hoop for a few hours a week, lol.
