Alabama A&M: Former Bulldog guard suits up for Hungary

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Obie Trotter was one of the best basketball players in the country during the early to mid-2000s.

A former Alabama A&M star, Trotter led the Bulldogs to the 2005 Southwestern Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles and a berth in the NCAA Division I Tournament. That year, Trotter was named the league's Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player during the SWAC Tournament.

He finished his illustrious career as a three-time All-SWAC first team selection and was twice named the league's Defensive Player of the Year. Trotter was also a two-time All-American, led nation in steals as a junior and finished third as a senior.



Trotter has spent the last six years playing professionally in Europe, but could find himself on a bigger stage later this month.

He recently received his Hungarian citizenship and was named to the Hungarian National Team and could find himself in the Olympics if Hungary is fortunate enough to make it there.
