CSKA basketball player Anton Astapkovich told that he is calm about his fifth consecutive appearance in the VTB United League All-Star Game.
The All-Star Game will take place on February 18 at the VTB Arena. The teams of Emil Rajkovic and Javier Pascual will meet at the venue, Astapkovic will play as part of the latter. The team that wins the match will receive 3 million rubles.
— For you, is the fifth consecutive All-Star Game already commonplace or is it new every time?
– Neither. You simply know better, you feel more confident. There is no more “wow” effect, but you understand that it is a big event.
— For the first time, the winning team receives 3 million. An important motivation?
“We play basketball because we love it.” It’s clear that winning is winning, but the All-Star Game is all about beauty, fun and entertainment. The money is just a bonus, the icing on the cake. I don’t think it’s a big motivation for anyone,” Astapkovich told .
