Most of the time, when an NBA player moves from the league to play overseas, both player and fans alike tend to look at such a move as a step backward. But leaving the NBA to play in the Euroleague might have been the smartest move former Boston Celtics reserve floor general Shane Larkin made in his pro career.
The former Miami standout plays for Anadolu Efes and is setting Euroleague records. He is one of the most famous (and well-paid) guards in Europe despite barely getting floor time as a second- and at times third-string point guard in the NBA.
To see how he has been throwing it down on the court abroad, check out this clip we found of Larkin going off for 18 points vs. AX Armani Exchange Milan courtesy of the Eurohoops TV video we’ve embedded below.
