Luwawu-Cabarrot arrives in Madrid hungry for titles

Luwawu-Cabarrot was officially presented on Friday, July 17 as the newest member of the Madrid roster. The Frenchman, a former NBA player, appeared before the media with words full of excitement and determination. In his intervention on Real Madrid TV, the shooting guard explained the reasons that led him to choose the white team as the destination for this new stage in his professional career.

The decision was not difficult. Luwawu-Cabarrot acknowledged that Real Madrid represents one of the biggest draws in European basketball. "I chose Real Madrid because it is one of the greatest clubs in the world, if not the greatest. I wanted to stay in Spain, and I believe this is the best option for me," stated the French player. He also mentioned the advice of close friends who have previously worn the white jersey, reinforcing his conviction that this was the best available option.

Experience and maturity at its peak

At 31 years old, Luwawu-Cabarrot considers himself at the peak of his sporting career. The French shooting guard didn't hesitate to detail what he can bring to the Madrid team during this new adventure. "Now that I'm 31, I've reached this moment where experience and skills, along with the abilities I possess, are at their perfect point. I'm in my best years," he confidently explained.

The French player outlined the elements he will bring to the white project: physical abilities, technical skills, precision in shooting, and accumulated experience from years of competing in different European leagues and the NBA. But beyond purely sporting aspects, Luwawu-Cabarrot emphasized his winning mentality. "I've reached this point in my career where I want to win. And my heart, that's what I'm bringing," expressed the Frenchman convincingly.

Drawn to Madrid's winning atmosphere

One of the decisive factors in Luwawu-Cabarrot's choice was the culture of winning that he perceives at Real Madrid. The French shooting guard, with experience in various European competitions since coming to the continent, acknowledged never having experienced a similar atmosphere before. "There's a winning atmosphere here that I haven't felt since I arrived in Europe. I want to learn from the best and from people who have won," he emphasized.

This winning mentality is no coincidence. Real Madrid has built a project over the years based on demands and a constant pursuit of titles. For Luwawu-Cabarrot, who arrives after a brilliant season at Baskonia, the opportunity to be surrounded by winners represents an irresistible attraction. "I didn't hesitate to come here. I want to learn from those who have already won," added the Frenchman referring to his new teammates.

Confidence in Pedro Martínez

Luwawu-Cabarrot's arrival at Real Madrid coincides with Pedro Martínez's continuity as head coach. The Catalan coach has established himself as one of the best basketball coaches in Europe, something the Frenchman openly acknowledges. "I'm very excited. He's the only one who has won the Coach of the Year award in both the League and the EuroLeague," praised Luwawu-Cabarrot.

The French shooting guard closely observed the work done by Martínez the previous season with Valencia Basket, further bolstering his confidence in the project. "I liked how he coached last year with Valencia Basket, and I'm very excited to learn from him," he commented. Luwawu-Cabarrot also highlighted the atmosphere the coach creates among his players. "The players who play for him seem to enjoy it and are winning. He's successful," added the Frenchman.

The arrival of the French shooting guard represents a significant reinforcement for Real Madrid in its quest to regain prominence after a season without titles. With his experience, offensive capability, and winning mentality, Luwawu-Cabarrot aims to be a key piece in the white project under the guidance of Pedro Martínez. The Frenchman arrives with the enthusiasm to contribute to the return of success to the Palacio de los Deportes and to learn from an institution that has proven to be one of the most successful in European basketball.
