I was feeling really good before the game, wasn&#8217;t feeling tight or wasn&#8217;t having calf issues or anything. You don&#8217;t always get to have the perfect ending.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I feel so lucky and so grateful to have played as long as I&#8217;ve played and to have played with the incredible players that I&#8217;ve played (with).<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Every sort of new cycle that I&#8217;ve come with, I&#8217;ve gotten close to certain players and built relationships and played with some of the very best players in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m looking forward to retirement.
