– Great game, great organization. All at the highest level. You feel like a star in some sense of the word, it’s nice to be in the basketball spotlight. Chat with your teammates, as well as players from other teams.
– Hasn’t fame made your head spin?
– Of course not. I try to stay as humble and down to earth as possible.
— What can the MBA really fight for?
— IBA did not set any global targets even at the start of the season. The task was simply to fight every game. So it’s probably going to stay that way. Try to win every game and show good basketball in every game.
– Now you go to the national team for matches with Serbian clubs?
— Yes, tomorrow we are taking the plane to Serbia. I think these matches will be very useful. It will be very nice to wear the uniform of the national team. I didn’t do it with the youth team, I had never played for the main team before,” Kasatkin told .
