'‘It's a bit sad, 35 years of playing basketball and it’s at an end,’’ Ballinger said.
‘‘I just feel like it’s time. I feel good about saying I’m done and I feel good about going on to do something else. I’m proud of my career and what I’ve done in this league.’’
I remember when he was first with Wollongong and there was talk of Adelaide pinching him. At that point, I think he ranked top five in scoring, rebounding, 3P%, FG% and blocks, or something similar. I think it was top five in five statistical categories.
