===== Professional Career =====

After going unselected in the NBA draft, Trotter played overseas in Brussels, Belgium for Castos Braine. In his first five seasons, he averaged nearly 30 ppg and was named the league's MVP twice. Trotter was such a sensation in Belgium that Nike signed him to a deal, supplying him gear and shoes, and even printed Kerry Trotter posters!

On playing overseas: //"For me the NBA draft didn't work out and I was disappointed at the time, but going overseas? It was, a "Why not?" But if it didn't work overseas, I got my degree. So there was no pressure on me to play well."//
