One of the biggest players says “goodbye.” Carlos Cabezas will leave active basketball after a sensational career that has lasted more than 20 years and that has been characterized by success from start to finish.
His record is unbeatable. He was one of the unforgettable golden juniors who won the 1999 World Cup in Lisbon with Spain after defeating the United States.. Champion of the world and of Europe with the National Team, he lived the best stage of Unicaja that won the 2005 Cup and the 2006 League.
The Malaga club wanted to recognize this brilliant career and as a finishing touch they will play with Unicaja in one of the Costa del Sol Trophy matches against Real Madrid. Afterwards, his mythical number ’10’ will be removed. He will be the second Unicaja player to receive this honor. The first was Berni RodrÃguez, whose iconic ‘5’ has hung from the Carpena’s ceiling since he left the slopes.
