The French big also an avid anime fan and would have loved to display this affection in the upcoming tournament (4-6 May). If only he had acquired his Dragonball shoes… earlier.
“I’ve already ordered some but sadly I won’t have them in the Final Four. But I will have them for the French League playoffs,” Traore told Eurohoops.
At 33 years of age, Traore is a veteran of many leagues, from France and Russia to Lebanon, plus major international tournaments with the French national team (including the silver-medal run in 2011 and the 2012 Olympics Games). Participating in the BCL Final Four is special to him for a specific reason.
“I had two tough last seasons and being here in the Final Four with this team….it’s a little victory for me already. I feel fortunate. I hope we can go back home with the trophy.”
