Many forget that during his heyday in Sacramento, Peja was an MVP candidate. But that seems like light years ago. He eventually became a journeyman and has decided to hang it up.

Three-time All Star Peja Stojakovic, regarded as one of the finest shooters in NBA history, said Monday he was retiring after 13 seasons in the league, his last a championship-winning campaign with the Dallas Mavericks.

The 34-year-old said he was finding it difficult to deal with neck and back issues and felt it was time to bring an end to his career.

“When you start competing against your body more than you’re preparing for the actual game, it’s a wakeup call,” Stojakovic said in a statement.
