THE Mike Jamesone of the top scorer of Euroleague, spoke to Amerikanos24’s “Triple Threat Show”, analyzing this year’s Monaco, the forthcoming Final Four against the semifinals against Olympiacos and his own role in the event.
A few days before the Berlin Final Four, Mike James appears more confident than ever, confident and declares a better player in the competition.
In detail what he said:
For Final Four and Olympiacos: “You don’t avoid anyone in the Final Four. Everyone is difficult. We have played with all three other teams this year and we were competitive. The point is who wants it the most. ”
On whether there is extra motivation against Olympiacos: “Anyone who says he has an extra incentive in such games, just says it for the cameras. It’s the Final Four. If you are not determined now, you do not need to be there. ”
About how he sees the depreciation from the media: “I don’t care what they say. The fans, the media don’t play basketball. We play. We don’t go there for a vacation. Let’s win. ”
On whether to exchanging career records and individual awards with a title: “No. I want to win, but when you see … practical books and my name, I’m alone there. No one can get this to me. ”
For his collaboration with Vassilis Spanoulis and his predecessor, Sasa Obradovic: “Spanoulis motivates you. It’s positive. He tells us “play right, we’re good”. Sasa Obradovic was more dramatic, as if everything was the end of the world. It’s a different style. ”
For the contribution of George Papagiannis to the Game 5 of the Playoffs: “I told him before the match:” Stay ready. If you play, don’t go out too. You’ll get sick with yourself. ” He had stayed active, he shot, he trained well. When it was time, he was ready and helped us terribly. ”
For his future at Euroleague: “Probably this is my last contract. I know everyone wants to play a little more, but … leave me alone! ”
For the advice he would give to what Jay Shorts: “If you go to a larger team, you may not have the same impact. In Paris he makes his game. It can determine the flow, be the leader. This is difficult to find elsewhere. If I had the choice with the same money, I would stay in Paris. ”
For the importance of money: “Everyone needs to be paid. For us, Americans, it’s not just a matter of love for the club. They are basic needs – family, care, life after basketball. Don’t judge us because we choose to secure. ”
For Euroleague Awards: “I think I was worthy of being in the top five. Top 10 in points, PIR, third in assists and my 4th team in regular season. But I’m Mike, and they’ll always take me to the second team. ”
For who is the best player in Euroleague right now: “I”.
