Kyle Hines announced his withdrawal from active action

One of her top tall men in the 21st century decided to retire from active activity after 16 years of professional career, full of titles. Kyle Hines decided to hang a jersey and shorts at the age of 38, ending a career full of titles and distinctions. Kyle Hines – only 1.98m tall. For center-winning four times E uroleague, two with Olympiacos (2012, 2013) and two with CSKA (2016, 2019), he was voted three times best defender, and was also selected to the best team of the 2010s-2020s. He also competed in Italy with Veroli and Milan, but also in Germany with Bamberg. He’ll probably do coaching. Kyle Hines wrote in social media: “I guess it’s time. As the new season begins, it’s time to close our chapter together. Thank you for the last four years we spent together. You made me and my family feel at home all along. It is difficult for me to express in words what you all mean to me and the gratitude I have for everyone there. The last two months have given me a chance to think about all the nice times we’ve been having together. Celebrating a Euroleague Final Four. Winning “back to back” Italian Cup titles and going against odds and winning the Italian championship 3 consecutive times. Thank you for the love, admiration and support you’ve shown me for the last four years. We all fought hard to make Armani, team and club that the city and all fans could be proud of. I thank Mr Armani, Mr Del’Orco and the Armani Group for giving me the opportunity to represent your association. I thank Coach Messina and the coaching staff for the opportunity to learn, grow and build with you every day. I thank Christos and the rest of the front office staff. Thank you all at the office for doing all the backstage work that goes unnoticed. See this post on Instagram. Pippo, Gianmarko and Andrea thank you for the countless work making sure we can live as comfortably as possible in Milan. I thank the Forum staff who always host my family during games and events. The staff of physical therapists thank you guys for always helping me prepare to be my best on the field even in my old age. “Ale keep my table closed”. For everyone on my way while living in Milan, restaurants, grocery store or park or just out in town with my family, thank you all. It was always love. You all had an important role in our lives in making Milan look more like his home. To my teammates, a hell of a course we took together. We are forever bound no matter what! Although this chapter is closed, I am sure there will be an opportunity in the future to start another chapter in Milan. No matter what, Milan will always be in my hearts.”
