Pull a Barry Sanders

to retire in your prime; to quit doing an activity while you are the best there is

I'm going to pull a Barry Sanders and stop running track since I won the conference meet.

pull a Sanders

To refuse to concede defeat in a competitive situation, even when it would be to everyone's benefit if you did concede.

Bro man, you gonna pull a Sanders? We gota stick to each other as Bloods. You pullin' a Sanders and not letting go of your dumb nigga dream to be crew boss, you gon get us hatin on each other instead of the Crab Nation who is our real enamy. You ain't all that, bro.
