James: “If they want me, I’ll stay – The Olympiacos crowd hates them, but they deserve the title”

THE Mike James spoke to Basketnews about his future in Monaco but not only about it after the victory in the minor final against Barcelona.

“I don’t know, if they want me, I’ll be here“, he emphasized when asked if he will continue in the Principality team, with which he has a contract for another year.

As for the fact that he only played six minutes in the minor final? “Ask the coach. I do not know. I don’t make the changes“, he said.

Regarding the future of Monaco he said: “The goal should be the title. We have come close this year and we must not stop. Why not take the next step? We will have to improve as much as we can and work in the summer. I hope we keep some players».

Regarding his predictions for the big final between Real and Olympiacos he said:I will try to see it. It will be hard for Real to lose if Tavares is like yesterday. He is dominant, he was everywhere. Olympiacos is a good team, they play well and they have reached this point again. They look very thirsty. I always want Olympiacos to lose because the world hates them, but their team, with the coach and the players they have, is a good organization. You can tell they deserve to get it this year with the way they’ve played this year and how they’ve fought. So I’m torn. I don’t have a favorite. I’m excited to see a good game. I hope the best wins».
