It was authorized by the Competition Department of the Association of Clubs and at 44 years old, he put on the shorts again and enter a basketball court, again as a player.
The last time he ex NBA (first Argentine who played a game in the American league) played an official game was the March 25, 2013, almost 9 years ago, in Junín, against Argentina. Although he never announced his retirement, he did not play again. Until tonight, for the Argentine League. Bahía Basket marches in the last placement of the Southern Conference.
With an impeccable physique, the absences of Ezequiel Paz, Facundo Tolosa, Valentín Simondi, Gabriel Novaes, Tiziano Prome and Valentín Forestier made the member of the Golden Generation jumps onto the pitch to lend a hand in the team where he leads a great sports project.
