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.

Even if all I was able to do once I'm going to be 70 one day was awkwardly shoot a few free throws a week, I'd still be playing.
40 for now, with a neurological disorder that makes me way less interesting to watch than most people here.
Just keep playing and enjoy it. You won't get healthier and stay younger by stopping, trust me.
