Nikola Vucevic has had a successful NBA career marked by two All-Star selections, with his first in 2019 and another in 2021 during his trade to the Bulls. As he approaches the end of his playing days, Vucevic acknowledges the inevitability of retirement, expressing that he sees himself playing for two more years with Chicago and potentially two additional years after that. Turning 34 just before the season opener, he feels capable of maintaining a high level of play, driven partly by the desire to set a memorable example for his sons as they become more aware of his career. Vucevic hopes to be remembered for his achievements rather than being viewed as a player past his prime, wanting to leave the game on his own terms.
