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.
skele is better than kalnietis in every aspect of the game and not because he's latvian, lol.(scoring,assists,ball handling etc.)
i'm not saying that kalnietis is bad, he can put on a great show with his dunks and his three point shooting has improved but he's still young and has a lot to work on.i'm sure that one day he's going to be a great player.
Valters sux skele is more better, why skele is better than Kalnietis ? Cuz he is latvian ?
skele deserves to be in the starting 5 much more than kalnietis
