“I enjoy every day,” he said while speaking to NBA.com. “I’m still having fun playing basketball. You just go out there and try to do your best. Some days are great. Other nights, it’s maybe not your day. It’s the other guy’s day. It’s about enjoying what you do, and that’s what I try to tell everybody, ‘Hey. When we wake up tomorrow, let’s go hard again and let’s try to do better.’ That’s all we can do, and that has been me all these years. I’ll keep doing that until I retire.”
Speaking of retirement, Calderon reminded everyone that after winning a third Olympic medal with Spain last summer, he retired from international play – with the hopes of postponing the end of his NBA career for as long as possible.
“This year will be the first with no national team,” he said. “After Rio last year, I just told them it was the perfect finish to my career with the national team. We had another medal. It has been many years now. I want to just concentrate and play here two or three more years or whatever I can.”
