Former Mavericks draft pick has become absolute legend overseas

Former Dallas Mavericks point guard Shane Larkin has become one of the most accomplished players in all of European basketball. It's a shining example of how life as a professional basketball player doesn't end once an NBA journey comes to its conclusion, or perhaps even simply hits pause.

From the 18th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft to a champion multiple times over, Larkin is the epitome of how fruitful life beyond the Association can still be.

Nitpickers will note that the Atlanta Hawks technically drafted Larkin at No. 18, but that's a statement without context.
