ONE LAST HURRAH

At the ripe age of 36 and heartbroken for not winning a championship in 14 NBA seasons, grizzled veteran Antonio McDyess of the San Antonio Spurs is finally ready to call it a day after the 2010-11 campaign. Frustrated of not winning it all with the Detroit Pistons and the Spurs during the past two seasons, McDyess says he is feeling old now, according to Pro Basketball Talk. The 6-9 power forward out of the University of Alabama has career norms of 12.6 ppg and 7.7 rpg in 942 total games with the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns, Pistons and Spurs.

“I didn’t know what to expect when they signed me (in 2009), and I’m glad to be back. But I think this is it. I’m the oldest player (on the Spurs) now, and I feel like it. I’m not trying to see any more years. I’m pretty sure this is it.”
