It is the tradition in France at this time of the year, a jury of 20 people rewards the best French basketball player of the year. Personally, I believed in it a lot, especially thanks to a 28-point match at Meximieux in February, but in the end it was game boss Laetitia Guapo who succeeded Nicolas Batum. The main reason ? The Bourges player won absolutely EVERYTHING in 2022.
French champion with Bourges, and winner of the Eurocup by the way, that’s for the 5×5. On the half court? Laëtitia is even more talented and this year became French champion, European champion and World champion with the French team, fortunately for the Aliens that the planets cup does not exist. We therefore start with a calendar year during which LG has won absolutely all the competitions it has competed in, so much so that we have long wondered if it was not she who was hiding in the monkey costume in Mask Singer. MVP of the last 3×3 World Cup, the 26-year-old winger is clearly in her prime and has achieved the feat of shedding some light on both women’s basketball and 3×3 basketball, in a world in the media very self-centered on these gentlemen, on the NBA and therefore on the 5×5 field. Laëtitia also succeeds Nicolas Batum who won the trophy last year and who, according to our sources, was signed by Klemen Prepelic, and strong winger Coro Navirus, elected unanimously in 2020. To our that this year women’s basketball is hitting hard since Queen Gabby Williams and heiress Iliana Rupert squat for their part in the Top4, with a wild Rudy Gobert who interferes in 2.
Huge reward for the Berruyère player, who sees her work and her talent put on the front of the stage and it’s very good like that. And better go get those kinds of trophies now, before Victor Wembanyama wins the next fifteen.
