Real Madrid

How do you feel knowing you are now a Real Madrid player?

It’s a great opportunity. I’m playing for a great club now. I’m in a better place.

How would you describe yourself? What can you bring to Real Madrid?

I think of myself as a hard worker and that’s what I’m going to bring to the team. I’m going to do what I can to help the team to win. I’ll do whatever it takes.

How do you think you’ll cope with the pressure knowing that you will be expected to win every game in every competition?

I got used to pressure in Thessaloniki. We were expected to win every night. I just got into a new club and I’m expecting the same thing.

Felipe Reyes, Álex Mumbrú and Raül López will be challengers for the Olympic gold medal with Spain. What do you think about the team and how do you rate their chances?

They are a pretty good team. They have great players. I think they have chances of winning, but United States is a pretty tough team this year, so we’ll see what happens.

What do you know about Real Madrid?

I don’t know any of the players yet, but I’ve heard a lot about them. Louis Bullock played in Michigan and I saw him play when I was a little younger. He’s a great player and a great scorer.

You were the MVP in the Euroleague once last year. Real Madrid’s other signing so far this season, Quinton Hosley was the MVP in the Turkish league. Do you know anything about him? Do you think there will be any friendly rivalry between you two to see who will get a better rating this year?

There won’t be any rivalry at all. He can have the ratings... I just want to win. I don’t know much about him. I’ve seen some clips on You Tube, but other than that I don’t know so much about him. I know he’s a great player and hopefully we will both help the team to do great things this year.
