Last season you won the Basketball Champions League and the Final Four Mvp. How was your path through the trophy and how was your feelings after winning the mvp?
The road to winning the championship wasn’t easy . We had a lot of luck with us to reach the final four. Being the MVP of my first European championship is a memory that will last forever.
Now your career will continue in France where you have already played in 2014-15 with Paris Levallois. Which are your feelings after coming back to France?
My first experience in France was a tough one. The team I was on had high hopes in the league and we didn’t fulfill our goals. But we were good in the Eurocup. I’m excited to get another shot in France.
During the summer market your name was near Virtus Bologna. Was it correct that Bologna contact you?
I really wanted to return to Italy this season. So when I heard about the interest I got excited. Never received an official offer.
Would you like to come back in Italy? Which are the memories you remember the most regarding your Italian experience?
Each team I played on Italy I feel like had success. All were different types of success. In Cantù at the time I didn’t realize how great of a season we had until I left. Varese for me is most memorable because we exceeded all expectations!
Which are your achievements for the next season?
I want to win trophies!
We want to thank Mike Green for the willingness and we hope him a bright future full of success.
