    Man seeing his name like that I was preparing for some terrible or weird news. Figured he was retired already. Remember this board went nuts and wondered WTF Morey was doing, he was our first FA signing and man was he a breath of fresh air with his shooting. Most memorable moment is of course his reaction to the dunk over KD and the suicide gun to the head animation on the floor.

    Carlos Delfino, you were the MAN here in Houston. Wish you could have spent your whole career here. Have a great retirement. Well deserved sir!

    Where was he playing?

    I'm surprised he was still at it.

    Wait a minute - Carlos Delfino was still actively playing ball? Lol! Well obviously his career ran far longer than I had thought... I hope he enjoys retirement!

    Retiring at 50 years old is something.....special.:D

    A forward Version of Manu. Looks very Italian.

    8 years in the NBA? Positive to say he played most the time abroad.
