Len: “It's an honour to be part of something as special as Real Madrid”
“I've played against the best every day for the last 12 years and I think I can bring something to the table and to help the team" explained the centre on Realmadrid TV.
Alex Len gave Realmadrid TV his first interview after signing for Scariolo's team: "It means everything. It's a great honour. It's a club with a rich history that spans years. Anyone would love to be part of Real Madrid. When you see Real Madrid on your chest, it means a lot. It's one of the most important clubs in Europe. I've been following it for a long time. It's an honour to be part of something as special as Real Madrid."
Goals and contribution to the team
“To win as many games as we can, championships, ACB, Euroleague... To win everything we can. What I bring to Real Madrid is a player with defensive presence, toughness, who plays hard and helps his teammates. I'm going to do whatever the coach asks me to do. I just want to help the team win games, that's the most important thing.”
“I'm an experienced player who has played for several teams and coaches. I've played against the best players every day for the last 12 years. So I think I can bring something to the table and help the team.”
On the ACB and the Euroleague
“I've heard a lot about the ACB, one of the best leagues outside the NBA. The Euroleague is a great competition and a new start for me. Coming from the NBA, I see it as a new chapter, a new beginning. I have to give my best in different settings and I'm looking forward to playing in the Euroleague.”
Lyles' help
“I spoke to him a little bit a couple of weeks ago. I called him when I was thinking about coming here, he only told me good things and it clearly helped me make my decision.”
