THE Slovenia got off to a great start in his qualifiers Eurobasketafter comfortably winning the Ukraine on Thursday February 22 and the Israel on Sunday, February 25, in two matches where the busy NBA player naturally did not play, Luka Doncic.
After the fight with the Israelis, Klemen Prepelic stated that the players who appeared for the FIBA ​​”windows” should be given much more respect than they currently have and that the public should not be so fixated on Doncic.
In detail what he said:
“It’s always highlighted who isn’t here and why they aren’t here. Again and again only Luka, Luka… We all realize that there is no way we can make it at the top level without Doncic. I will make an exception, but I observe and receive information that they always “spit” these guys who always come to the national team. Without these guys, Slovenia would not have seen Doncic in major competitions in their shirt.
Those 11 or 12 guys who are always here maybe deserve a little more respect from our audience. I always say our fans are the best in the world. But I’m just tired of them “spitting” some guys over and over again.. Honestly, many think that they shouldn’t come to the national team again. Everyone is important to what happens in Slovenian basketball.”
