Paris Basketball star guard TJ Shorts joined the latest episode of Eurohoops’ EurohooPOD with Antonis Stroggylakis and Cesare Milanti. The favorite to win 2024 EuroCup MVP, Shorts explained the reasons Paris is having such an impressive almost undefeated run, how they average nearly 100 points in a major European competition, and why his team could even compete in the EuroLeague right now.

Shorts, the Basketball Champions League MVP of 2023, talked about his progress from a young baller in Latvia to climbing the ranks of European basketball in a path that can lead to the EuroLeague. The American player discussed how tough it was for him to leave his country and start a career overseas, his evolution, growing up the fanbase in Paris, his thoughts on the EuroCup format, and why the Final of the competition should take place during the EuroLeague Final Four.
