Kemba Walker: “In Europe you rarely see an opposing team’s shirt on the field”

THE Kemba Walker was the “bang” of the summer for her Monacoas based on his name he is probably the greatest player to come to Europe in the last 20 years.

Still, his four All-Star streak NBA he probably went to the principality for… tourism, since he passed and did not touch competitively, having a rudimentary presence in his rotation Sasha Obradovicaveraging just 4.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 11 minutes of action.

Despite this, he himself does not… break down, stressing that he is having a good time and that he understands his situation, in an interview he gave to the French “RMC Sport”. At the same time, she talked about her course Monacowhile distinguishing a difference between Europe and NBA which impressed him.

In detail what he said:

For his small presence in the rotation: “Not everything will go my way, I have to have an understanding of my situation. I don’t want to set the example of being down or frustrated just because things don’t go my way. It’s bigger than me, it’s about the team, about my teammates around me.

The point is to win. We did that, these guys play really well. For me, as long as we’re winning, I can’t complain. I like to win, I like to see my teammates happy. Like I said, I’m just trying to do what I can to help the team. That’s the point”.

For the stadiums of Europe: “In an NBA game, if Steph Curry is playing away, you might see a lot of Golden State jerseys. Here, it is very rare to see many opposing jerseys in the stands. The ground is shaking, it’s crazy. My first game was with Red Star, which was crazy. Then I came back a few months later and played with Partizan. It was extreme, it was a mess in there.

I knew what to expect, but when you see it and you’re a part of it, it’s definitely different. It’s definitely different when you actually see it, when you’re actually a part of it. But I wasn’t surprised, I was really excited, I was really excited to be a part of it. how passionate the fans were about their team.”

On whether Monaco can advance: “As a competitor, definitely yes. I think we have a very good chance to do great things around here. But you can’t look ahead. You just have to be in the present and take it game by game. We’ll just focus on the first match and go from there.”
