With the best words for the Greek team, but also for… Thomas Walkup spoke o Bogdan Bogdanovic on Basketnews, after the victory of Serbia in the premiere of the Aegean Acropolis.
“The Greek team always plays hard and is tough. Now it’s even faster. They have developed their players from the windows of FIBA and they know how to play. I know we can face each other in the quarter-finals and I hope we meet them again. It’s always nice to play in Athens, Greece is a great host,” the Hawks superstar said.
As for naturalize fashion? “It’s good for basketball, but it needs to be limited by regulations. I think that a foreign player should have played in the country first and know the culture, like Walkap in Greece. It is a good example. Rules are needed, not just paying players to play“, he emphasized.
About Serbia’s absences from the World Cup he said: “I don’t think about it. We have good players, like Milutinov. We are not sorry for the absences, nor are we afraid that we will be excluded. We must think positively. Some guys wouldn’t play much if Jokic and Misic were here. When someone is missing, it is a good opportunity for someone else to show their worth».
