When a player has taken his or her final shot or layup.
The player is in the process of passing the torch to the next generation.
It's a beautiful symbol for all those who have watched and loved the game.
I believe basketball is constantly evolving.

In my case I'm not there yet. I'll give it two more years .
However I'm preparing my boys whenever they decide to take up basketball.
Until then the sky is the limit the sport isn't going any where.
