Basketball Super League: Europe's Top League

“Basketball Super League is the best league in Europe”

“IT WAS A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE”

Reed, who has become one of the most important offensive weapons of the team in home matches, is among the most loved names of the fans. Stating that his performance in the TOFAŞ match was special for him, Reed stated that he produced a score at this level for the first time in his professional career.

Emphasizing that fan support is decisive for them, the experienced player said, “We are playing tough matches. The support of our fans motivates us extra. When we reflect their energy on the field, we become stronger on the way to the play-offs.”

Reminding that Trabzonspor is one of the newly promoted teams to the league, Reed said that the team’s adaptation process to the Super League continues. Stating that he has been playing in the league for a long time and knows many players closely, the American basketball player pointed out that the communication within the team is strong. Reed said, “Everyone on the team can communicate with each other easily. This reflects positively on the field.”

I TAKE DERRICK ROSE AS AN EXAMPLE

Reed, who attributes his scorer identity to his struggle on the field, stated that he took Derrick Rose as an example in his basketball career. Reed said that he closely follows national player Alperen Şengün, who plays for the Houston Rockets in the NBA, and compared Şengün’s playing style to Nikola Jokic.

Emphasizing the level of competition in the Turkish Basketball Super League, Reed said, “I think Türkiye is the best league in Europe. There are two big teams competing in the Euroleague and the system with 7 foreign players makes the league very competitive. This is the most competitive league I have played in.”

Giving a message to young basketball players, the burgundy-blue player reminded that he started his career at the lower levels and drew attention to the importance of working hard. Reed said that he sees team success as a priority rather than individual goals and that they want to make it to the play-offs at the end of the season.

Describing the TOFAŞ match as the most unforgettable match of his career, Reed stated that they played the most difficult match of the season against Yukatel Merkezefendi Belediyesi Basket. Stating that being away from his family is the most challenging issue for him, the American basketball player added that not being able to see his family during the season was the biggest sacrifice in this journey.
