Marshawn Lynch, the running back so powerful he trademarked his Beast Mode moniker, has retired, leaving fans to remember a career of eye-catching moments. Lynch hangs up cleats All the details as he confirmed retirement Still just 29, the Californian has called time on his career after nine seasons in the NFL. He was drafted in the first round in 2007 by the Buffalo Bills before joining the Seattle Seahawks in 2010, where he won his only Super Bowl ring two years ago.Sky Sports remembers our favourite moments from Lynchs career... Marshawn Lynch: Career stats via NFL.com Rushing TDs: 74 Receiving TDs: 9 Rushing yards: 9,112 Receiving yards: 1,979 Rushing fumbles: 19 Receiving fumbles: 7 Beast Quake Lynch #24 rampages through the Saints defence Possibly the play that will come to define Lynchs argument that he should be included in the NFL Hall of Fame. Five years ago, an outrageous display of athleticism and brute strength from Lynch sent Seattle into such raptures that the wobbling CenturyLink Field registered on a local seismograph.The Seahawks were playing defending Super Bowl champions New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card play-offs and were locked in a nip-and-tuck battle that could have ended either sides season. In the fourth quarter, Lynch settled proceedings by skipping past nine tackles and scoring a remarkable 67-yard touchdown.The Seahawks had called 17 Power, a power run, for the first time and shifted the ball into Lynchs hands. He bolted past Scott Shanle, Sedrick Ellis and Will Smith within the blink of an eye. Saints Remi Ayodele and Darren Sharper simultaneously dived at Lynch only to grasp nothing but thin air. After fighting off Jabari Greer, Lynch performed the most memorable feat of strength as he stiff-armed Tracy Porter out of his path before crossing into the end zone for one of his greatest touchdowns. It helped Seahawks win 41-36 and the 66,000 capacity 12th Man shook Seattle to its core.Beast Quake 2.0 Lynch #24 leaves the Cardinals trailing in his wake Lynchs career-best 79-yard touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals in late 2014 may not have taken him past nine opponents like the original Beast Quake but it will, we now know, remain his longest ever score. And if you ever doubted the nickname, remember Lynch began this game against the Cardinals on the bench due to sickness and didnt touch the ball until moments before half-time.But in the fourth quarter he burst into life by shoving red jerseys out of the way with immense arm strength and, at one point, a nudge of the helmet like a charging bull. He wrecked Rashad Johnson and Patrick Petersons initial attempt to bring him down and, just as he did in the first Beast Quake, leaped triumphantly into the end zone. Seattle won 35-6 and went top of the NFC West en route to the Super Bowl.Afterwards when questioned about his swashbuckling score he merely replied thanks for asking as his reply to every query, with his recent fines for blanking the media fresh in his mind. A sign of things to come?Im just here so I dont get fined Watch Marshawn Lynch tell reporters Im just here so I dont get fined. Video courtesy of Sound FX. No stranger in the past to incurring monetary penalties for a lack of co-operation with the NFL off-the-field, Lynch still had no intention of providing genuine answers to reporters prior to last years Super Bowl. Inadvertently (or maybe brilliantly) he created a sensation which took social media by storm and turned into a line of profitable merchandise. Lynch explains to reporters why he wont answer questions Lynch had been fined for not fulfilling media duties not long before the Super Bowl in February 2015 against the New England Patriots but became the sensation of the pre-game shenanigans for his brash attitude towards reporters. Contractually obliged to face questions for a minimum of three minutes, Lynch politely informed reporters he would not stay for a single second too long - and set a reminder on his phone which triggered his exit.During those three minutes, Lynch repeated Im just here so I wont get fined 29 times. He has since received an official trademark for the phrase and released a series of T-shirts. Why not give it to Beast Mode? Lynch talks about not being given the crucial pass in the Seahawks Super Bowl defeat The Seahawks fell short of winning back-to-back Super Bowls by a mere yard last year, in a game that will always be remembered for their decision to not utilise Lynch at the pivotal moment. He will never get another chance to add to his single Super Bowl ring.Trailing the New England Patriots 28-24 with less than 30 seconds remaining, Seattle had the ball in hand after Lynch had stormed to within a yard of the end zone during the previous play. All signs indicated they would hand him the ball again for him to deliver the winning score. But it wasnt to be.Seattle called a slant pass which was intercepted by Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler ensuring New England would preserve their lead to the final whistle. A stunned Pete Carroll, the Seahawks head coach, explained afterwards he tried to catch the Patriots unaware because they arranged themselves primarily to block Lynch. One of the most bizarre plays in Super Bowl history deprived the most powerful runner in the NFL of the chance to score a potentially match-winning touchdown.One last touchdown Lynch returned to the Seahawks with a touchdown against the Panthers Injury ruined Lynchs final NFL season and limited him to just seven starts as he battled hamstring and abdominal issues. The mileage was beginning to show.He still had time for one last touchdown against the Carolina Panthers but, with his 30th birthday creeping up on him, Lynch called time on his career in typically cryptic fashion. Waiting until the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 50, he tweeted a picture of his cleats hung up from a telephone line which prompted tributes from the Seahawks and his former team-mates.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Mike Krzyzewski can still picture the whole scene. Its one of his favorite stories to recount from his time in international basketball, how he looked back over his shoulder in his first Olympics as Team USA head coach to get a handle on all the commotion behind him before a semifinal game in Beijing.In the tunnel, not in the view of any spectators, was the Argentina team, Krzyzewski said, dancing together and showing spirit.It was beautiful. And thats how they competed.I love them, Coach K concluded.That was a widespread and unavoidable sentiment on a bittersweet Wednesday night at the Olympic basketball venue, where two titans of the world game -- Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola -- played in a major tournament in the light blue and white stripes for what probably was the last time.Brazil might not seem like a storybook setting for a couple of Argentines to walk away from the sport they changed, but you fell for these two all over again in Argentinas 105-78 quarterfinal defeat to the United States. Even on enemy soil.If not your heart, Ginobili and Scola and their countrymen always won your respect with how hard they played, how together they were, how proud they will forever be to have worn their countrys colors. The nation responsible for plunging USA Basketball into the deepest of self-examinations, resulting in a total overhaul of the program and, yes, the hiring of Krzyzewski as coach, is irresistible to a hoops lifer.First of all, we beat an outstanding ... not just a team, Krzyzewski said. Theyre what I call a program. An amazing culture.Congratulations to Argentina and the magnificence theyve shown the world for the last almost two decades.I know, I know. You want to talk about Spain. You want to talk about Team USAs looming rematch with the Spaniards in Fridays semifinals ... one round earlier than usual at the Olympics. You want to talk about whether Spain, with wins over Lithuania, Argentina and France by a combined 94 points, has indeed supplanted Australia as the hottest team in the tournament.You surely want to know, most of all, if Team USA is going to lose in the semis.Later.We still have time to get into all that.This was a night to pay tribute to Ginobili, Scola, Andres Nocioni and Carlos Delfino.The last four holdovers from the seminal 2004 Argentina squad that, after failing to qualify for Sydney in 2000, stunned Team USA in the semifinals and somehow won the gold medal in their first try together.Truly amazing, said Kryzewski, who will never forget the achievement because he otherwise might never have had this job.So both Krzyzewski and Team USA veteran Carmelo Anthony, who was just a 20-year-old on the roster in 2004, made sure not to leave the floor without letting Ginobili, now 39, know how honored they were to scrap with the Argentines for all these years.Im not going to say the exact words [they told me], Ginobili said. They were just very cool and important displays of affection and respect.It all added up to some scene inside the Carioca Arena 1, just two hours after Ginobilis dear friend Tony Parker played the last game of his international career in a heavy loss to Spain and wound up being applauded by the worlds press on his way out of the interview room after pouring his heart out at the podium.USA/Argentina, in similar fashion to Spains 92-67 cruise, was realistically over as a contest in the third quarter, but the Argentina fans serenaded their heroes with song and dance and chants for the entire fourth, making this building shake and paying tribute to the Class of 04 in the only manner they know.And there was Ginobili, after a 27-point pounding in the one country where hes usually unwelcome, shuffling off the floor as a hero, with the game ball tucked under his arm and tears in his eyes.Scola, for his part, didnt outright say it was the end as Ginobili and Nocioni had, but couldnt help joke when someone asked abbout the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo: Ill be 40.dddddddddddd. Ill be happy if I can walk.It was emotional, Ginobili conceded. I didnt want it to be. I was hoping just to sneak out and go to the locker room and do what I had to do there, but everybody conspired against it.Said Scola: It was fun. The whole [tournament] was fun. We knew it was going to be special, going into South America and playing close to home, but I dont think nobody had an idea its going to be this cool.Several of the Americans on the court had a similar takeaway, mesmerized by a noise and atmosphere they had never experienced.I love it, man, Anthony said. Theres nothing like being in front of Brazilians and Argentinians at the same time.Said teammate Paul George: This was amazing. We couldnt understand what they were saying, but the environment was just amazing. Im happy they sent Scola and Manu off on a great note.Even in the land of green and gold, celebration was the only option. With their flex cuts, their toughness, their brotherhood, Manu & Co. won the only gold medal in mens basketball to elude the United States in the six Olympiads in which NBA players have been allowed to participate.It has been a frequent lament in this cyberspace that there appears to be little in the pipeline to continue Argentinas success in the new millennium, but Scola refuses to see that as a tragedy.The [truth] is, in 70 years of basketball history in our country, for 60 years -- or 55 years -- we were between 10 to 20 [in the world], Scola said. That was our range.And now all this happened and we happened to be top three for 10 years, 12 years, 13 years. You know reality says theres a strong chance we come back to where we were before. Just because, along our history, thats what weve been.We happened to have this generation of very good players and we jumped to top five. ... Do we see Ginobilis and Nocionis in our [young] guys? No. But [did] people [think] in 99 or 98 that were gonna be winning a gold medal in 2004? No. Nobody. People would laugh [at that].Our goal in 99 ... the whole goal for our whole careers was just to make it to the Olympics once. Not winning, not make it to the quarterfinals, not make it to the semifinals, not making a medal. Just be there. One time. Thats all we wanted. And that was 99, not 81. That was five years before we won the gold medal.Golden Generations can do that.Just dont ask them to explain where it all came from in a country whose young sports dreamers long to be Maradona or Messi.Nobody really knows, Scola says. It just happened.Just give them their night. Give Manu and Scola and Chapu and Cabeza their moment. Friday afternoons semifinals are a rematch of the gold-medal game at the last two Olympics, but the focus on Spain can wait.Today I go home with a bag full of emotions, Ginobili said, having exited with 14 points, seven assists and one perfectly Manu-esque reverse layup when the underdogs were building an early 10-point cushion.But ...We left, I think, a footprint in FIBA basketball. Proud of it.For a moment we thought we could compete with them, Scola said, hearkening back to the 19-9 lead Wednesday night that quickly became a 47-27 deficit after a tidy U.S. run of 38-8.But this is a fair game. Theyre just better than us now. We know that. They got more athleticism, more talent, bigger. Were OK with it, because its just the way it goes. There was a time where we could compete with these guys. And actually there was a couple times we beat them. Were not there now.Not that Scola sounds terribly discouraged by the prospect of Team USA, despite its recent struggles, beating Spain in a third successive Summer Games and snagging gold once again.If nobody else beats them, Scola said with a smile the other day, then were the last ones who did.
