Larkin: Many people are satisfied with their NBA identity and enjoy their halo and lifestyle, but they do not love basketball

September 14th, Türkiye's naturalized player Larkin has played in the NBA for four seasons and then moved overseas.

When it comes to hoping that you can't play at the end of the NBA bench, you may choose to go overseas and play for 30 minutes per game. Larkin said: "There are many people who are satisfied with the NBA's lifestyle. Even if they become the 13th player on the team, they don't have to play every game, but they can be said to be playing in the NBA. Many people just hold on to this identity, not those who really love basketball."

He also talked about some of his experiences and thoughts when he left the NBA: "I was lucky that I achieved my goal at the age of 20 and entered the NBA. But I went to various teams due to injuries and other reasons. Later, there was an opportunity in front of me, whether to accept a non-guaranteed contract in the NBA, continue to fight for a position, or go to the sea Play outside, play 30 minutes a night to see what it will look like. "

"I think if I want to get the chance, it should be because my performance is worthy, not someone else is hurt. I remain open and went to my first season in Spain. I have had a great time, enjoyed life there, and my love for basketball has become deeper. Since then, this love has taken me to many places. I think the advice I give is: you must love basketball and be open to different cultures, and be willing to adapt to life outside your comfort zone, otherwise the experience will not be pleasant. "
