With that being said, I've made the difficult decision to retire from the NBA, LaMarcus Aldridge, via Twitter.

The 35-year-old had a 15-year career with the NBA.

He had seven All-star berths and 6 All-NBA nods.

After signing with the Brooklyn Nets in March, he averaged 12.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in just five games.
