Trajan Langdon (born May 13, 1976, in Anchorage, Alaska) is a professional basketball player currently playing in Russia for reigning Euroleague champions CSKA Moscow. He is nicknamed "The Alaskan Assassin" based on his ability to hit the 3-point shot.

Langdon first made his professional debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 2, 1999. Prior to joining the NBA, Langdon played for the highly regarded Duke University basketball team, where he set the record for the Most Career 3-Pointers. [1] During his high school career, Langdon attended Steller Secondary School but played for East Anchorage High School. He set the Alaska AAAA Record of 2,200 career points and was a 3-Time Alaska Player of the Year.

Following a three-year stint with the Cavaliers, Langdon moved to Europe to play for Italian power Benetton Treviso for 2002-03. The following season, he moved to Turkish powerhouse Efes Pilsen. In 2004-05, he moved on to Russia, playing that season for Dynamo Moscow before moving across town to CSKA in 2005-06. Langdon was named to the All-Euroleague second team for 2005-06.

Trivia

Later Duke star J.J. Redick has been compared to Langdon, as he is of similar size and skill. Reddick was drafted 11th overall, the same as Langdon, in the 2006 NBA Draft.
