T-Mac Announces His Retirement

Image

Sooner or later, every professional basketball player’s career comes to an end. For Todd MacCulloch, that day came earlier than expected. 76ers President and General Manager Billy King officially announced on Sept. 22 that MacCulloch will retire from the game of basketball due to foot neuropathy, a condition that has plagued the 7-foot-0 center much of the last two years.

“I was hoping that we’d be talking about this 10 to 12 years down the road, but we’re here today,” said King. “I think for Todd he’s still going to be a big part of our family, and I think he’ll add a lot to the organization in other capacities, but it just won’t be on the basketball court.”

Ive seen this same joke on some other forums aswell, so I saw this coming.

But I wouldnt be surprised if Tracy McGrady would retire, I mean....didnt he talk about quiting basketball after he had those terrible under 10 points games when the teams played zone defense on Orlando?

if mcgrady were to retire he'd pretty much pull an MJ.. take a year off, come back and be stronger than ever.. saying he wants to retire now just shows that he takes the game for granted

It's a shame, because it's a condition that will no doubt affect his day-to-day life. Even though it's forced him out of the game, hopefully he'll find a way to keep the condition at bay. As far as basketball is concerned, I saw him as a Luc Longley type, a guy who can still play an important role in a team whose system does not require an All-NBA centre.
