The last club whose jersey Barton dressed so symbolically remains FC Barcelona. Last year, he helped as a mentor on the B-team’s playground for young treasures from the Barcelona hatchery, with the Catalan Grand Club in 2010, writing his life success – victory in the prestigious Eurolize. “It’s time to announce the end my basketball gaming career. I can assure you that I feel peace of mind and body. Decision making was not so complicated, “Luboš Bartoň, 36, told the Czech Republic.
“On this occasion, I would like to say hi and thank all my ex-teammates, coaches, assistants, managers and all the people around the team I’ve ever played for. I’m not going to name it because it’s a long list in 20 years.I would definitely like to thank all the clubs and their fans for their support, “he says.
And that the clubs he went through during his long career were really many.
Bartoň started his professional career not far from his native Czech Lípa – in Děčín. From North Bohemia, in 1998 he went on a long foreign trip, which began at the University of bet live Valparaiso. He left Europe four years back to Europe and his first steps led to Italy (Fortitudo Bologna, Virtus Rome).
Bartoň’s star has shone in Spain.Respect in the best European league won in three years in Badalon, won Eurocup with him and then moved to Barcelona.
After injury and treatment, he started again in Fuenlabrada to return to Badalona for a second.
At the start of the 2012/13 season, after 14 years of leaping, he showed off on the Czech boarders in the jersey of USK Prague when he nodded the Braunschweig offer during the year.
The next season started again in Bohemia, this time in his “Děčín”, where he left for Valencia. He worked on the Czech boarding boards with the win of the championship title with Nymburk.
Then came the last year and returned to the Barcelona jersey in the second-league bull.
If he was healthy, Barton never refused an invitation to the national team.Not even during the time when Czech basketball had to go back through the European elite from Division B. He was rewarded with two participations in the Eurobasket 2013 and 2015, with the national team sports betting bonus reaching the historic maximum – the seventh place. After the end of his career, he did not reach this year’s Olympic qualification.
The most successful event for Barton was the 1999 European Championship, where he was 18.7 points for the second best champion of the championship.”
My greatest success belongs to my family, especially to my wife Keilley, who escorted me during my gaming career, helped me during the weaker moments and rejoiced in my success, “he notes.
But the basketball world does not come to a remarkable personality. Now a former player wants to focus on a coaching career: “I do not intend to go far from basketball, now I have the time and energy to take on the coaching course I started this year. Because I do not say goodbye, but to the founder! “
