“I was talking to a few teams, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to play one more year,” Calderon said. “If I wasn’t going to play for a team with a chance to win and I wasn’t going to play a lot of games, it didn’t make sense. I knew I would miss my family. I started thinking, ‘is it really going to add a lot to my career if I play another year.?’ I had already played 14 years. Why add another year, just because I could? “When I put everything on the table this was a great offer. I’m learning from every side; basketball operations, financial and legal. It’s perfect. And it’s just one subway stop from my house. I wanted my family to be happy. And they’re happy.”
