Cleveland Cavaliers: Kyle Korver nearly retired in the offseason

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Kyle Korver is 37-years-old and will be entering his 16th season in 2018-2019. He’s firmly in the twilight of his career and, though you might not guess it by the wily veteran’s heart and determination on the court or his three-point prowess, he knows the end is near.

In fact, Korver thought that he was ready to retire at the end of the 2018 NBA Finals.
