Andrés Nocioni announced his retirement from basketball. In apublished via his Twitter account, the Real Madrid player said goodbye to his fans: "I lived like I played. I was always honest and I gave my heart to every club I’ve been at; every day, every practice, every match. I’m going to leave basketball the way I want to leave it: competing at the highest level in Europe and in a club with the highest global ranking"."My biggest aspiration was to make it in Europe and not only did I do that, but I also played in the NBA. I shouted, I suffered, I celebrated, I cried: I grew. I never gave up. Not in the worst moments, which, of course, I also had"."Finally, to state the value of all the clubs in Argentina, Spain and the United States that have taken me in. In the months that remain I will give my best, as always, to win the EuroLeague and the ACB league season. It would be a perfect farewell. And the last chance to steal a net".
