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.
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.
