450+ games. More than 20 years. One remarkable career. 🏀🔥

At 42, Ivan Platenik was still matching it with players half his age. Now, he calls time on an incredible Big V playing career. 🙌

A player, teammate, mentor and father whose legacy goes far beyond the numbers.

Thank you, Ivan, for everything you've given to basketball and the Big V. 👏
