David West was among that group of veteran players of the NBA whose future was uncertain. As a free agent, the pivot was in doubt whether to continue playing one more season or finally hang up the boots. And in the end he chose the second option. 

One day after turning 38, the former New Jersey player posted a message on his social networks announcing his withdrawal with the following message: "I have had enough fortune to live My childhood dream of playing in the NBA After 15 seasons I have decided to retire from basketball, I am grateful for the support of my family, friends, coaches, colleagues, organizations and fans throughout this experience. , been by my side, prayed or just said a good word about me, I thank you. "

West leaves behind a trajectory to which he put the finishing touch in the last two seasons with the two rings that he conquered with the Golden State Warriors. 

He was also twice All Star, in 2007 and 2008, the years in which he played his best basketball with the New Orleans Hornets, the team that elected him in the 18th position of the 2003 Draft and who finished as the top scorer. 

His numbers in these 15 courses, in which apart from Hornets and Warriors he played for Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs, are 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists on average in 1034 regular league games, while that in playoffs he contributed 11.3 goals, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 basket passes in 118 matches.
