not a whole lot of substance really. He talked workethic, that was the interesting part of it, kinda. Its cliche. JV mentioned he loves what he does, loves playing basketball. It does get hard at times tho, he can be exhausted and it can be tough, but he said he knows he has to do everything he can, because he wants to be as good as he can, and he wants his name to be known. His words basically.

JV is a guy who doesn't over think. Most of the these interviews are kinda the same. They mentioned that BS Top 100 players of 2016 or smth. article, where Jonas is projected to be 18th. best player. Mentioned some other stuff like that. JV said he is not thinking about stuff like that, hes just playing basketball. He is not getting into irrelevant articles and management politics. He doesn't know what future will bring, but he is trying to do his best.

Thats the story. Everything else is nothing. Mentioned Raptors individual trainers, mentioned ''The rookie program''. Was asked about people who maybe thinks he became arrogant. JV said he is not, but he cant change some opinions, and frankly, he doesn't care.

That was my view, I :lol: at that. Not sure he said it that way, but we can blame UcanWill's translation for that. And some hotel they have, with a view of an alley. Just like FIBA, it would sell its soul for a bag of pennies. I wonder how much of each hotel bill ends up in the FIBA party fund.

Meanwhile, competition is under way, and some things never change

Unfortunately for Turkey, Hedo's tan is better than his game so far.

Thanks for the link.
These are all very one sided games, Turkey should be embarrassed in their performance against Finland. Hedo is just awful 1/9 from the field, 2/4 FT.... awful.

I love when the NBA guys put up big fat duds in Euroleague and Int'l play.. I don't know why but I get a real kick out of it. Ilyasova and Turkeyglue really stunk it up today

:lol: Yes it's true. I made it sound worse... He basically said he cares what his family, his friends and his girlfriend thinks of him, he cant focus on what everyone thinks of him, and he did said he doesn't care much. But he was sweet :lol: It doesn't translate on paper. :lol:
From what I understand, they implied he maybe came out as somewhat arrogant, because he was asked some really irrelevant dumb questions few days prior. Like some journalists asked him about his romances and new car? I get JV respond with a dirty look and just walked away, smth like that? And then people were like, look how arrogant this guy got...
It wasn't serious topic, he bashed some journalists :lol:

Hedo looks Really washed up. Even comparing to inferior Euro competition he can barely hold average status it seems. Ilyasova did sucked.
Arslan is a master of clutch 3. He always makes those. Made Finland shake a lil bit at the end.

That's Chicago Bulls Asik numbers, he needs to step it up, obviously Hedo was chucking all game, but still. Would be funny if they won't make it to the next round since they won silver in last WC

Ukic will have something to prove. Expect him to dunk on Jonas all game.
