Barcelona, Oct 5 (EFE).- The Spanish international pivot Pau Gasol announced this Tuesday, at the age of 41 and after 21 active seasons, his retirement from professional basketball, a moment for which he had been preparing for "years" and which comes after playing one last season with Barça and one of the Olympic Games for the national team because he wanted to end his career "playing and enjoying himself."FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES FROM THE PRESS CONFERENCE BY PAU GASOLTRANSLATIONFortunately, I have been preparing for this moment for years, it is never sufficiently prepared, but I have invested in a professional team to position myself, explore projects, settle them, thanks to my work teams, such as my Foundation, for their professionalism and for helping me to cement that present . I've always said, "The price of greatness is responsibility." Many tell me that I am great. I have tried to be my best. If you assume the role of leader, if you are great, you have to assume certain responsibilities, I want to do it, give back to sport and to society everything they have given me. Representing the IOC. Barcelona advisor. Basketball Academy. Provide values to children. Philanthropy is very important to me. UNICEF ambassador. Mission to eradicate childhood obesity worldwide. I will continue with those projects. Hopefully we want in Spain a national plan against childhood obesity. It is one of our great projects. Beyond titles and medals, for me the important thing is to enjoy the present with those we love.
