I've been a professional basketball player for 25 years. I retire at the age of 42 as the player with the most international appearances in the history of Spanish basketball (314) as well as with the most extensive list of achievements (12 medals in international competitions). I've participated in 4 Olympic Games and won a silver medal in Rio 2016. I've won 33 club titles, including 2 Euroleague titles. I'm the all-time leader in assists in the Euroleague. I've lived and played in France, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Australia. My last club, Girona, signed me to be the sports director of the project, and I'm also a supervisor of the youth development project you with BASQUET GIRONA. I'm part of the coaching staff of the Spanish national team, and we have the challenge ahead of competing at the highest level in Paris 2024. Life is meant to be lived.
