You were my favorite player. You were one of the 3 men for which I still root for in sports, along with Roger Federer and Valentino Rossi. Soon enough, I`ll only be left with my football club, Dinamo Bucharest, which I know does not deserve a spot in the same sentence as you.
It was a privilege to see you play. Writing this, I feel just like the 12 year old that fell in love with basketball because of you. Watching your last match, I felt just like the people who are proud, to this day, that they have seen Michael Jordan in action.
60 points and winning single-handedly a game that seemed lost, at 37 years old, in your last outing? You sent us back 10 years ago. You could not have written this. You had the greatest farewell performance I have ever seen. Ever!
I can tell my kids that I watched Roger Federer, Valentino Rossi, Lionel Messi, Jonah Lomu, Michael Schumacher, Mike Tyson, Michael Phelps or Steph Curry (did you see what he did today?). But the first on the list might be you. You were as great as all these men. Better!
You were just a basketball player, so maybe you do not deserve all the fame and adoration, maybe not so much money either. But the memories you put in people’s minds don`t have a price and will last forever. You put another one in today, at the end.
Thank you for that #24,
Rostick
Love this, I will miss him. Still can’t believe what I saw
I said the exact same thing (twitter is my witness). Funny thing is, I wrote the letter before and during the 1st quarter, it just came to me, didn`t plan it. I had to edit it before publishing, because I could not leave out the part of tonight’s performance. I could not have seen this coming. Just WOW!
bigger tribute is need for legent like kobe bryant
Yeah, for sure and the web should be full of that by now! I just wrote a quick & heartfelt piece.
AMAZING GAME
