NBA clubs will now invite Russian players with a low degree of probability, the president of the Russian Basketball Federation (RBF) said in an interview with . Andrei Kirilenko .
Russian basketball teams and clubs are currently suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. Kirilenko himself has spent most of his playing career overseas, playing for Utah, Minnesota and Brooklyn.
– Follow the NBA finals “Denver” – “Miami” (the score of the series is now 3-1 in favor of “Denver” – ed. approx.)?
– By the way, I don’t watch the matches themselves, but I know the results and the statistics.
— Do you have any preferences for the winner?
I would like Denver to win. I really like the way Jokic plays, he’s a classic, beautiful and smart basketball. I want him to win the title, so nobody wonders how to play that way.
– There are no Russians in the NBA, is it very depressing?
– This is the situation: there was a coronavirus for two years, now there are political events. I don’t think now anyone will consider Russian players as candidates for the NBA,” Kirilenko told .
