Jaycee Carroll, 42, Dreams of Competing in 3x3 Basketball at Los Angeles Olympics
At 42 years old, Jaycee Carroll, a former Real Madrid basketball star, is nurturing a surprising ambition: to participate in the 3x3 basketball tournament at the Los Angeles Olympics. Carroll concluded an illustrious 11-season career with Real Madrid in 2021, a period during which he secured 19 trophies and was a pivotal member of a generation that dominated European basketball. Currently, he is involved in the financial sector and coaches his daughter's basketball team in Utah.
However, during a recent interview for the show « Marcador », Carroll admitted that the sport still holds a significant place in his thoughts and that he is contemplating a return to competitive play. He shared his enduring thoughts on a potential comeback, stating, "Even today, I think about playing basketball again. When I see what Marcelinho Huertas has achieved, playing until 42 or 43, I tell myself that maybe I could have played two or three more seasons. With less playing time, I might have been able to maintain that level." Carroll specifically mentioned his Olympic aspirations:
"The other day, I was talking with Jimmer Fredette about the Olympics and the 3x3 tournament; I told him I might be able to get back in shape. Basketball is always on my mind, and I feel I could still be competitive at that level. Participating in the Olympic Games would be an incredible experience; I would be 45 then, which could even be a record. For now, it's more of a dream than anything else, but it's true that I've thought about it."
