Then Brogdon announced his retirement. Today Brogdon released a retirement statement on his personal media. He said: Today I will officially start my career transformation. In the past few decades, I have always devoted my mind and body to the basketball career without reservation. This has also made me sacrifice a lot, and of course it has also given me a lot of gains. I can reach the end in this way, and I will be grateful to be able to share the fruits of my career with my family and friends at this moment.

Brogdon is only 32 years old now, at his peak age. Although he has suffered serious injuries, he still has gas in the tank and can still help the team. However, he suddenly chose to retire. Why is this? The Knicks team reporter tweeted about this, saying: Brogdon's retirement is shocking. He could have locked in the Knicks' final roster. Previously, he also expressed his expectation to stabilize the main force of the team's lineup rotation. I heard that he suddenly realized in the training camp that he seemed to have lost part of his desire and fighting spirit.

In other words, Brogdon has lost interest in basketball. Since joining the Knicks in the preseason, he has averaged 13 minutes per game, scored 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.3 steals, and shot only 29.4% from the field. His performance is indeed very bad, but he can still help the team in passing and defense. Previously, Mike Brown even praised his calmness as what the team needs, but Brogdon couldn't stand himself after a serious injury, so he chose to leave.

In the history of the NBA, there are many players who left the league because they could not bear to lose their peak. The most famous one in history is Bird. Because he has been troubled by back injuries, he was still a star in the season when he left the league, averaging 20+9+7 per game, but he left the league because he could not bear his level. Brogdon's two-way quotient is very high, and it is estimated that he will also be successful after leaving the league.

Speaking of Brogdon, many fans may not know much about him. Here we will briefly talk about his career: Brogdon was the sixth pick in the second round in 2016. He was reduced to a second-round pick because he was drafted at an older age and did not have enough time in his senior season. After averaging 18+3+4 per game, because the defense is good enough and he has a certain shooting ability, the Bucks have the idea of ​​training him to become a blue-collar puzzle. In his first season with the Bucks, Brogdon proved his composure and maturity.

He almost never makes mistakes, and his offensive methods are very comprehensive. He is capable of both with and without the ball, which can help the team win. In the end, he averaged 10.2 points and 4.2 assists per game and became the player of the year. Rookie of the Year, beating Brown and Ingram. This is also the second Rookie of the Year in Bucks history. The last one was Sky Hook, and it is even rarer for a second-round pick to win the Rookie of the Year. Before him, the last one to do so was Jack Twyman in 1966.

After that, Brogdon gained more tactical status and playing time with the Bucks. He became one of the Bucks' trident and the best 3D player around Antetokounmpo. In the third year of his career, he had averaged 15.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. According to reports, due to the team's salary pressure, they did not give a large enough contract extension, and the Pacers' four-year offer of 85 million made the Bucks reluctant to give up. After joining the Pacers, Brogdon became the team's second boss, averaging 19+5+6 per game in a single season.

But because he could not win, Brogdon had the idea of leaving the team. He came to the Celtics and was willing to be a substitute in order to win. As a result, he averaged 15 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 rebounds per game in the 22-23 season. .7 assists and won the Sixth Man of the Year award. In the end, the Celtics sent him to the Trail Blazers for Holiday. He also passed through the Wizards. Due to a leg injury, his attendance rate was not high and his condition gradually declined. In the end, he chose to give up.
