He is only 1m75 tall, but he has all the makings of a big guy.
Hyperactive in defense, stratospheric in attack, TJ Shorts was the big man in the final phase of the Leaders Cup, won by Paris Basketball this Sunday, February 18 against Nanterre 92 (90-85).
Undisputed leader of his team since the start of the season, the little Macedonian leader of American origin, elected MVP of the competition, offered two magnificent consecutive performances, first against Monaco (23 points and 5 assists), then against Nanterre (26 points, 2 assists).
This is no surprise to anyone.
Fantastic from the first match of the season, against Dijon, during which he finished top scorer with 19 points, the former player from Bonn (Germany), who arrived this summer with his coach, three assistants and five other players, was rewarded by being named captain of “Team World” during the French All-Star Game on December 30.
More discreet in recent weeks, he came out of his box at the best time to offer a title to Paris Basketball, undoubtedly the first in a long series.
