Shane Larkin has already explained why he decided to sign with Baskonia. However in a new interview with the “Basketball Insiders” he sets the highest goals for him and his new team.
The American guard decided to play in the old continent in order to evolve as a player, but also in order to succeed and this means winning every possible title and making an impression on the court: “I believe we have a lot of talent on this roster. We can be really good. Obviously, the goal is to win championships, so hopefully we can grow very well together as a team and win as many of them as we can. I want to win Euroleague and win the Spanish league. I want to be the best point guard in Europe. That doesn’t necessarily mean scoring the most points or having the most assists, just being the point guard who did whatever he needed to do on a nightly basis to help his team win. If we win, everything else will take care of itself”.
After all, as he admits he feels that he has to prove something, after not getting what he wanted in the NBA: “If I had a chip before, the chip has grown to the size of a damn building. Never in my life have I been so determined and motivated. A lot of stuff happened off of the court this summer that has added fuel to my fire as well. But I’m not one to talk about what I’m going to do, I just go do it and let my play speak for itself.”
