The Parisian coach sings the praises of his playmaker and his entire team after the victory against Olympiakos on Friday in Athens.
He has all the makings of a great one. Despite his 75 meter height, TJ Shorts has had an exceptional start to the Euroleague season. He was also elected MVP of the first month of the premier competition in Europe. 21 points and 8 assists for the leader of Paris Basketball this Friday, in Athens, during his team’s 96-90 victory. “Forget his size, he’s a giant. He’s the leader of this team. He guides the group. He is never afraid. A hell of a player”greets the Brazilian coach of the Parisian team, Tiago Splitter, on Succeed.
Paris, however, is not just Shorts. We don’t win 10 wins in a row like that in the Euroleague… “It’s special, that’s for sure… The team has been extraordinary, they’ve stayed together, they’re humble, they have no ego. They fight in every match like it’s their last. I am proud of them”relishes Splitter. And to add, on the keys to this frantic pace and this intensity: “First, you have to work in training, the players get used to it and we always try to do better. We have a lot of explosive players, maybe a little smaller, but they can play at a high pace and have a lot of selflessness.. Paris is alone at the top of the Euroleague before facing Asvel, in a week, for its next European outing.
