Gay is one of four people — along with Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Chris Paul — to total 10 or more factors between 2006-07 and 2020-21.
Longtime NBA forward Rudy Gay announced his retirement on Tuesday in an article for" The Player's Tribune".
" Eighteen centuries in the club", Gay writes. " Learned from some of the best people who have always done it." Made some extraordinary lifelong companions. Feeling great. Healthy. Inspired. Have a family that loves me, and who I love more than anything.
" I'm not really Fine. It's like….
" I'm the luckiest man in the world".
Gay, 38, played for five team — the Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Utah Music and Toronto Raptors— after being selected ninth overall by the Houston Rockets in the 2006 NBA Draft.
Gay had a strong rookie year following his signing with the Grizzlies for Shane Battier on draft day. In 78 games, he averaged 10.8 items, 4.5 touchdowns and 1.3 assists per game — good enough to see him finish second in quarterback of the year election and create the NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Before being traded twice in the span of 11 weeks, Gay would spend the first seven seasons with the Raptors halfway through the 2012-13 period and the following year, when he made the move to the Kings.
Gay broke his remaining Achilles tendon in January 2017, and he returned to the Spurs the next year. In his last seven seasons in the NBA, he would still struggle with injuries over the following few seasons and only managed 69 games per season.
Gay next played in the NBA with the Dance during the 2022-23 time.
" I needed to sincere myself and be like:' Appearance, this is over,'" wrote Gay. " But actually coming to grips with it being over, that's... a method. One I'm actually however dealing with, and battle with at times. I'll also be watching games where some of these guys squander passes or fumble the game out of bounds, and I'm a total yob like," I'm better than that lunatic." Are you kidding me?!?!? ' It's not very.
" I'm 38 years older. That's nothing yet near mid-career for most people's expert life. But, the way I see it, I've got a lot of work ahead of me.... In the meantime, I'm really feeling incredibly thankful for all the passion, wisdom and compassion that I've experienced in the game of hockey."
In two months at UConn, Gay was Big East Rookie of the Year, First-Team All-Big East and a second-team All-American. He even helped the Americans win silver in 2010 and 2014 by playing for the United States twice at the FIBA World Cup.
