Pat Garrity Retires
Announced on September 11th Pat Garrity decides to throw in the towel and retire at age 32. Garrity the 6′ 9″ 240 pounder played college ball at Notre Dame and was drafted in 1998 by the Milwaukee Bucks. He was in the first round draft choices for the year, 19th overall.
Garrity was quoted as saying:
“After 10 wonderful years of playing in the NBA, I have decided to retire. I am so grateful for being able to play for as long as I have and to have established long lasting roots in Orlando. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Orlando Magic and the great fans of Central Florida and for all of their years of support.”
Pat’s career averages are 41% field goal percentage, 39% three point percentage, 80% free throw percentage, 7.3 points per game and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Although Garrity was never an upper echelon baller, he was dedicated and a great team player. He will surely be missed by the Magic.
