The 38-year-old Greek star Spanoulis suddenly announced his retirement, ending his 21-year career, a monster-like 21 years.

By the way, fans who know Spahn are at least 30 years old, right? (Except for those who are overly knowledgeable like me, I am still 16 years old.)

Spanoulis was selected by the Mavericks with the 21st overall pick in the second round of 2004, but he was not selected with the 21st overall pick. He landed in the NBA for a while. In the 2006-07 season, the Rockets acquired Spahn's signing rights from the Mavericks in a trade, and then brought Spahn to the NBA.

But Spann only played one season with the Rockets and did not get many opportunities. That season, Spann averaged only 8.8 minutes per game, scoring 2.7 points, 0.9 assists and 0.2 steals.

After sitting on the bench for a season, Spahn lost interest in the NBA. After the 2006-07 season, Spahn chose to return to the European League.

At that time, Spann was known as one of the most promising defenders in Europe. How could he be willing to let his prime years be wasted on the bench?

Because he has not been in the NBA for a long time, it is estimated that many young fans do not have much impression of Spann, and it is difficult to intuitively feel how awesome Spann is.

Let's put it this way, he is called "European Kobe" and is Doncic's idol. Doncic initially chose the No. 7 jersey and the current No. 77 jersey, all because of Spann.

Span has influenced many European children who like basketball and has many disciples.

After Spann announced his retirement, Doncic immediately tweeted, writing: "Thank you for everything you have done! #IDOL#ForeverNo.7#100 points"

Then he also forwarded a piece of Spahn’s career honors

3-time Champions League champion

3-time Champions League FMVP

1-time Champions League MVP

Selected to the first team of the Champions League 3 times, 5 times to the second team

7 times Greek League Champion

3 times Greek Domestic Cup Champion

3-time Greek League FMVP

Spanoulis is also the all-time scoring leader and total assist leader in the Champions League history

You can basically win it Spann has won all the honors several times.

Oh, by the way, the Olympic qualifying round will start in July. Now that Spahn has announced his retirement, it means that we will not play in the qualifying round. Our losing round will be in the same group as Greece.

Span's national team career was not an ordinary one. He won the 2005 European Championship, won the silver medal in the 2006 World Championship, and finished third in the 2009 European Championship. In the 2006 World Championships, Spanoulis led the Greek team to defeat the American Dream Team.

So at this point in time, Spann chose to retire, which is also a big loss for the Greek men's basketball team.

Although Spann is already 39 years old, Scola is still 41 years old!
