Tillman Targets Double Championship with Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor Basketball's star Tillman outlined his career and revealed his goal of a double championship. The 27-year-old, who has worn the jerseys of NBA teams including the Memphis Grizzlies, Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets, won the NBA title with the Boston Celtics in 2024.

Tillman also shared a difficult memory from that championship period. The player said he lost his father during the same stretch and that he cannot forget those days. Tillman, who grew up watching LeBron James, advised young athletes to work very hard to achieve success.

The player explained that his decision to transfer to Trabzonspor came after he received few opportunities to play in his last two NBA seasons. He said he came to Trabzon to play basketball and that the club wanted him very much. Among his strengths on the court, he listed screen setting, two-handed finishing around the rim and defense.

Tillman said he researched the city online before arriving in Trabzon, and he is happy to be living with his family. He said he likes the Black Sea views and natural beauty, and that he enjoys local dishes such as döner and pide. He asked fans for more support and said he does not want to see empty seats in the stands.

Tillman said his personal goal is to stay healthy and play in as many games as possible. He added that winning a championship with the Boston Celtics is everything he could have dreamed of, and that those memories will stay with him.
