An interview with Marko Popovic (Zalgiris)
One of the most popular Zalgiris Kaunas players for quite some time now 25-year-old Croat Marko Popovic gets a huge support from the fans. 185 cm guard also shines in European as well as Lithuanian press. M.Popovic had a magnificent month of December. He became the most valuable player of the month in SEB BBL averaging 18,3 points, 3,3 rebounds and 2,8 assists per game during it.
- Did you expect to become the MVP of December?
- No, I’m not chasing those titles, there’s nothing more important than my team’s victories and that’s not only words that I should say, that’s the way it is for me. I was really genuinely surprised when I became aware of this.
- What does it mean for you?
- It’s going to give me more confidence, motivation to work harder, also showcase my efforts and play better. I’m really happy to play in SEB BBL and being part of it is a great thing.

I went right from Kaunas to Tallinn and I really liked the show. 3-point shooting contest was embarrasing a little bit. I hoped Kullamäe will make it to final. And I also liked the dunk-contest. Pelkic doesent shine in games, but his dunks are the best! And I saw Travis Reed also. Really like his style, too bad he couldnt join All Star Game. And Popovic, Eidson, Millage, Kalnietis and Tein were great!
Each team has his own horrible-loss-games in every season. This season Barons lost to Neptunas, Ventspils lost to Valmiera, Žalgiris lost to Ventspils and now Rock lost to Valmiera.
really would like to see that, too
btw rock was really of their game yesterday, just horrible
