Former New York Knicks forward Zach Randolph announces retirement

Former New York Knicks forward Zach Randolph’s NBA carer is over after 17 seasons.

Randolph, who played for the Knicks during the 2007-08 season and part of the 2008-09 season, was asked by TMZ if he planned on making a comeback. He answered with a simple “no.” The 38-year-old was also asked if he felt he had a future in coaching. Randolph responded by saying, “I don’t know.”

After one season at Michigan State University, the Portland Trail Blazers drafted Randolph with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. Randolph spent six seasons in Portland and received the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award in 2004.
