He is one of the most important US players who have played in Europe. He is incredible shooter, twice European champion (2006, 2008) with CSKA Moscow and with significant college career with Duke University. Trajan Langdon was on July in Las Vegas, watched a lot of games and the two last practices of USA’s team, before their departure from USA to Europe. As eurohoops.net wrote, Landgon has decided to become a players’ agent, but meanwhile, he changed his mind and expresses his plans in Eurohoops!
“I changed my mind! It’s true. I decided to get involved in management and teams scouting. I want to work in an NBA team and take part in all procedures to create a roster. It’s something that thrills me and I think it suits me! In Las Vegas I met a lot of people and truly I… let know NBA about my future plans. I have made some discussions and I’m waiting. My decision is definite and I wish in some years to be a GM in an NBA team!”
Trajan has only good words to say about USA national team: “I watched the way they work and I was sure that everything will go on well. It matters how you work as a team and coach Krzyzewski has everybody’s respect and made everyone to play for the team. That’s the secret”.
And since we talk about “secrets”, what is saying the best 3p shooter we have seen in recent years in Euroleague about the art of the shot? “It’s a combination, right technique, many repetitions daily and of course, confidence. These are the things that everyone needs to be a good shooter. Great shooter is someone who has these abilities and even if he has… 0/9, he’s sure that he will make the crucial shot and score it”!
