The Klagenfurt Wörhtersee Pirates provide the best player in the 2nd basketball league. Shawn Ray was voted MVP (Most Valuable Player). And the oldie is far from thinking about quitting.
“Oldie but Goldie!” This applies fully to the star of the Klagenfurt Wörthersee Pirates – Shawn Ray. The basketball “grandpa” was voted the most valuable player of the past second division season by coaches and officials – with his 43 years of age! And that with 50 (!) votes, 30 more than the second – the rival KOS with Grega Sajevic. “He looks ten years younger” That Ray was named “MVP” does not surprise coach Andi Kuttnig: “He has been years the same rituals, is extremely meticulous and one of the toughest trainers! He looks ten years younger on the field.” The bare numbers prove him right: Especially since the former Bundesliga champion (2013 with Vienna), who works as a native speaker at the De La Tour school in Klagenfurt, was first in many statistics: top scorer, Best three-way odds, highest efficiency, most steals. “He’s a real role model!” says Kuttnig, who is worried about guard Felix Leindecker (24) – he has offers from the 1st league. However, Maxi Kunovjanek retires at the age of 35 – which is not an issue for Ray. Kuttnig: “He’ll be there for at least another year – if not two!”
