Resisting from Kaunas “Žalgiris” to the club “Real” of Madrid, Mirza Begičius withdrew from the battalions that boiled in the square. The 35-year-old Slovenian has announced the end of his basketball career.
“I don’t want to play abroad anymore,” Begičius began with the message. – Wherever I was alone, I didn’t feel like myself, so I couldn’t show the game I wanted. Also, in this context of COVID-19, the contracts offered by the clubs are not so attractive that I risk spending another year or two without a family.
The stage at the Real Club is the highlight of his career, especially in 2013, when we reached the final of the Euroleague, but lost to Piraeus Olympiacos ”.
Begičius came to Lithuania in 2009 after signing a two-year contract with Žalgiris, but did not complete it: midway through the second season he moved to Real for compensation.
In the first year in Žalgiris, the Slovenian workshop became the champion of the LKL, BBL and LKF tournaments.
Last season, the 216 cm tall Begičius in the Bar “Mornar” jersey played an average of 12 minutes in the FIBA Champions League, scoring 4.6 points and bouncing 3.1 balls.
During his career, he has also represented such famous clubs as Virtus in Bologna, Union Olympia in Ljubljana, Olympiakos in Piraeus, Baskonia in Vitoria, Cedevita in Zagreb and Basket in Bilbao.
Begičius competed in the Euroleague for eight seasons, playing 125 games in them, averaging 6.1 points, grabbing 3.8 balls and blocking 1.3 shots.
