It was announced yesterday surprised no one made a thread.

23 year career, 12 championship rings including 3 EuroLeague championships, four-time Olympian two-time NBL champion and played a couple of years in the NBA.

Outstanding career and provided great service to Australian basketball, I'm glad the NBL are keeping him around in an off-court role.

Full of admiration for DA. His basketball resume is absolute and complete. More accomplishments than possibly any other Australian basketballer. I am not saying the best. Jackson, Gaze, Bogues, Longley and others can fight that out. DA is now, more-or-less, one of "team-NBL", (Gaze, during a time-out, "OK, we got 4 rebounders/passers and me. You know what to do!").

Do well in your new career in basketball, DA.

Massive respect for what has been an amzing career. May his post-basketball life be just as successful.

Absolute legend. So glad he's finally gotten the respect he deserves. Playing the majority of his career overseas obviously meant that a lot of people didn't know how good and consistent he was at such a high level. But even more than that he's been disrespected since his rookie year at the Hawks where people called him a bust after averaging 8 and 4 as an 18 year old.

This last few years in the NBL seems to have finally helped some people come around which is great.
