It was definitely time. When he first started playing for NJ last year, he actually looked OK. But after two or three weeks you can tell his body just couldn't take the pounding anymore.

I bet he'll end up coaching at some point. Perfect candidate.

Bad news... Unfortunately, Memo has decided to end his professional career officially.

Okur said, "As a sportsman who represented my Türkiye in the best way at highest level for years, as a result of back to back injuries I suffered especially last 3 consecutive years, and after all of my tries to come back, I now understood that I will never be old Mehmet Okur again. While I was practicing with my private trainer, I recieved offers from countless NBA teams and elite teams of Europe. Despite, especially if a player's body who passed a treshold would not allow the player to be the same as his old self, it's time for him to say goodbye to the sport he's long loved and become a part of his life, and this moment has come for Mehmet Okur"

No. The Jazz already have far too many jerseys retired.

As I said in another thread he seemed like a good guy who did good things for Utah. I wish him nothing but the best.
