Melmeth announces retirement

...but maintains NBA aspirations, har har.

Melmeth said he had enjoyed his time as a professional basketballer but that injuries accumulated over recent years made it the right time to step away from the game he loves.

"It has been an absolute pleasure being a part of the NBL for the past 13 years," Melmeth said. "Winning a gold medal at the Under 23 World championships, suiting up with Andrew Gaze at the world senior championships in Athens and winning an NBL championship with the Sydney Kings will be my three fondest memories I take from my time playing professional basketball.

"I'll always cherish the memories of growing up watching the (Newcastle) Falcons play. Now I hope professional basketball recovers to what it once was so that generations to come can share in the excitement and energy that is Australian basketball."
