Breaking news came from the world basketball circle today: Argentine veteran Delfino officially announced his retirement.

Delfino is a player familiar to old fans. He belongs to the golden generation of Argentina's men's basketball team and his performance is very stable. That year, Delfino made great achievements. Together with Ginobili, Scola, Nocioni, Herman and Oberto and other players, he won the men's basketball gold medal in the Athens Olympics and the men's basketball bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics.

In intercontinental competitions, Delfino is also the anchor of the Argentine men's basketball team. Although he is not the strongest scorer, he assists players such as Ginobili and Scola very well and is an excellent 3D wing.

In the 2003 NBA Draft, Delfino was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 25th overall pick in the first round. During his NBA career, he played for the Pistons, Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks and Houston Rockets. In 2014, Delfino could no longer get a guaranteed NBA contract, but he did not leave basketball.

In the Boca Juniors men's basketball team of the Argentine domestic league and the VL Pesaro men's basketball team of the Italian Basketball League, Delfino is the team's experienced big brother, leading the team to keep moving forward. Compared to Ginobili, Delfino is not the highest mountain in the Argentine men's basketball team, but the longest river. He has persisted for too long.

Finally at the age of 43, Delfino decided to end his career as a professional player and officially retired. At this time, players such as Ginobili, Scola, Nocioni, Oberto and Herman had already retired, and even Campazzo had become a veteran.

Delfino's retirement announced that the golden generation of the Argentine men's basketball team has finally come to an end, and a new era for the national team is finally coming.
