Duckworth played four more seasons in the NBA, two for the Bullets, one for the Milwaukee Bucks, missing most of that season due to injuries, and one for the Los Angeles Clippers (1996-97), after which he retired from professional basketball.

Famous quotes containing the words decline and, decline and/or retirement:
“Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts.

We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“I heard a Californian student in Heidelberg say, in one of his calmest moods, that he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
