Carlos Jiménez

What draws me to Carlos Jiménez is the quiet philosophy baked into his nickname, 'suma y sigue' — add and keep going. That is not the language of a flashy star; it is the creed of a grinder who built a career inch by inch. At 2.05 m he anchored Spanish basketball through its golden years, and the Gold Medal of the Royal Order of Sports Merit confirms the respect he earned. I find his second act just as telling: moving into the front office at Unicaja, channeling that same patient diligence into building teams. He strikes me as the kind of steady, principled figure every sport needs but rarely celebrates.

Carlos Jiménez Sánchez (born 10 February 1976) is a Spanish former professional basketball player and current sporting director of Unicaja. He is 2.05 m (6' 8 3⁄4") tall. His nickname is "suma y sigue Jiménez", which translated into English is, "add and go on Jiménez."
