Incredible o Pepe Sanchez!
His former player Panathinaikos in the 2001/02 season, he returned from… retirement since 2013, to fight again at the age of 44 years!
Bahia Basketball had a game with the La Plata Gymnasium, but due to the large outbreak of the coronavirus did not complete eight to go down. For this reason, he addressed the veteran Argentine guard, who from the … beaches, put on a shirt and stepped on the floor again!
Of course, the once “green” guard went with the blessings of his family and specifically of his son, who was not born when his father was fighting and one of his dreams was to see him on the floor again.
Pepe Sanchez, then, not only played, not only completed the octave, but fought for 29 minutes and in fact played a role in the victory of Bahia in overtime with a score of 91-87! As for his statistics, he had 12 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, collecting 17 points in the rating system.
He returned to play for his Bahia Basket because the squad had fallen too short due to a COVID outbreak. At 44 years of age with you… Juan Ignacio Sanchez aka Pepe. SHOWTIME! pic.twitter.com/oxrXlg22i9
