THE Kendrick Nunn he’s… over the moon, with the American guard in stunning form in recent weeks for Panathinaikos AKTOR.
The “green” superstar gave an interview to “CLUB 1908” and talked about the goals the team has set, as well as himself, while also revealing which hair style he prefers to have.
Kendrick Nunn’s interview in detail:
– Another Kendrick, Lamar, says in one of his songs: “Tell ’em Kendrick did it.” How did you do against Armani Milano?
“Good question, I like it… I did it the way the Kendricks do it. So simple…”
– Is something easy? I mean make 3-pointers, run the court, finish with your right hand, with your left hand.
“I make it look easy, but it’s not… It’s a lot of hours behind the scenes to make it look easy.”
– Did you have a different feeling before the start of the match? You kind of felt like “tonight’s my night” or “tonight I’ll be in the twilight zone.”
“I felt something more. I’m not sure exactly what it was, but maybe it was because I missed the previous game and had to watch a tough loss on TV. Not being there to help in any way. I had extra motivation to help my team win, for sure…”
– Do you know you were just one point away from your new career high?
“Yes, I know. I’m crazy about it too. That means I have more to look forward to.”
– Do you know you were just two points away from tying the EuroLeague club record for the best performance in a night with 41 points?
“Yes, they told me. Of course I’m chasing this, I’ll do it”!
– Are you ready to go after Tyrese Rice, because he holds the record now…
“Yes, yes I know. Tyrese Rice has the record with 41 points. It’s not easy, but I’m sure I’ll have another big night.”
– So, maybe this is your next personal goal? 42 points in a EuroLeague game? Or the EuroLeague history-high 51 points?
“Last time I said (the goal) was 30 points, because I hadn’t scored 30 points yet. Now that I’ve scored over 30, 40 points is definitely the next (goal). When I “clean up” with the 40, then I will go for the 50. Small steps…».
– I don’t know if it has to do with luck or something, but every time you play with afana, you make big plays. Last year it was Game 4 of the SEF finals. This year, once you got rid of the pigtails and Nan appeared with the aphana, we saw something special.
“That’s something everyone tells me, but I honestly don’t even know. Maybe it’s an energy I have with the universe, or something spiritual. When I have pigtails, maybe my head is too tight. With afana it is very relaxed and free and I am able to put the baskets. I don’t know what it is, but everyone loves afana. So maybe I’ll keep her…”
– What do you prefer: pigtails or afana? In your version.
“I like pigtails, honestly. But the aphana develops on me as something unique. Something truly unique. And I like it… I also like afana, that is.”
