His nickname, La Bomba (The Bomb), is the name in Spanish for the tear drop, the type of shot he was a specialist in.
Early life
Juan Carlos Navarro Feijoo was born in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain. Navarro began playing youth club basketball with a local club in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, called Club Bàsquet Santfeliuenc, at the age of 8. At the age of 12, he moved to the youth clubs of FC Barcelona.

On August 17, 2018, Navarro retired from competing in active sports competition,[11][12][13] and he joined the FC Barcelona club's head office structure.
