• Jasikevicius to the rescue The idol who said no

The last image of Ante Tomic as captain of FC Barcelona was last Tuesday at La Fonteta, collecting the Endesa League runner-up trophy from José Miguel Calleja , ACB general director. The 33-year-old Croatian center said goodbye to his team on Thursday after eight "great years" in which he won a CBA league, three King's Cups and a Super Cup.

The hard defeat in the final against Baskonia (67-69), where he could only contribute two points and six rebounds, has precipitated the farewell of Tomic, the foreign player with the most participations in the history of the Catalan section.

"I enjoyed every day! I played with incredible players and I'm behind each one of them in life and on the court. I worked with incredible people. You don't know their names, they don't earn millions, but they make Barcelona 'more than a club' Thanks culers ! " Said the Dubrovnik center on his social networks.

June 24, 2015

His 579 matches between Liga ACB (311), Euroleague (236), Copa del Rey (19) and Supercopa (13) made him exceed the figures of Erazem Lorbek (341) and Gianluca Basile (329), until now the foreigners with more presences in the history of Barça.

His most inspired night with the azulgrana came on June 24, 2015, when he scored 29 points (36 rating) against Real Madrid. However, that triumph in the third game of the final served Pablo Laso's team to proclaim himself champion at the Palau (85-90).

Tomic, who defended the Madrid shirt between 2009 and 2012, was always very whistled by the white fans, who did not forgive his signing for the maximum rival and his words during the presentation, in the company of Xavi Pascual . "I want to win titles and raise my level of play," said the Croatian international at the time.

Kuric and Pangos

Tomic ends his stage being the second highest rebounder in the history of the club in the ACB (6.3 average), behind Roberto Dueñas , the third most valued player in history (15.6 average) behind Juan Carlos Navarro and Juan Antonio San Epifanio , and also as the sixth highest scorer for Barça in the Endesa League (10.7 points).

The Croatian was one of the three players from the Barça squad that ended his contract along with Kyle Kuric and Kevin Pangos . The American escort, with a Slovak passport, has received a renewal offer, while the base could benefit from the arrival of Sarunas Jasikevicius , who has already directed him at Zalgiris Kaunas.
