Donatas Motiejunas (Monaco): “Mike James? He’s my boy, we hear wonderfully! »
Asked by the gazzetta.grDonatas Motiejunas spoke about his relationship with Mike James, on whose side he plays for AS Monaco.
Brought to talk about AS Monaco, in a long interview with the gazzetta.gr, Donatas Motiejunas (2.13 m, 31 years old) was questioned in particular about the Mike James case. A question that did not really revolve around the statistical contribution of the superstar of the European basket – which amounts to 16.7 points, 5.9 assists and 2.9 rebounds for 17.4 average evaluation in Euroleague for example – but rather on the contrast between the fact that it is “a great player and a somewhat special character”. To which Donatas Motiejunas responded bluntly, countering prejudice.
“It depends which side of him you know him. I’ve heard different things about him, but my personal experience with him is excellent. I’m comfortable going into battle for him. He’s my guy, my teammate, we get along wonderfully, we carry a lot of responsibilities together and I support him in everything. I have never had any problems with him, he is very friendly and open. But his most important characteristic is that he has a winning mentality! »
