One day after Andrea Bargnani, it was time for Shane Larkin to be presented by Laboral Kutxa Baskonia. The American point guard repeated once more than playing in Europe will help him become a better player.
As he said before: “I feel I can help my game in many ways. Each of my three years in the NBA, I was getting a little bit better, but it’s only so much you can grow, playing an x ammount of minutes. This is a great opportunity for me. Baskonia is a great team, very well coached. So I can come here, work on my game and help the team win. It’s better competition than playing in the D-League”.
Larkin chose the number 0 on his jersey and as he explained: “I chosed it because I feel my whole career I have been overlooked. The number represents that I have something to prove every single night”.
As for his initial impressions with the team, he added: “It’s been a great experience until now, training with my teammates, knowing the systems and adapting myself to the European style. I’m looking forward to everything getting started”.
You can watch the whole press conference of his presentation in the local media in Vitoria, Spain.
