NBA an option for Walter Tavares next season?

If he had to say in percentages, what are the chances currently for staying in the EuroLeague or going to the NBA, what would they be? Mario Hezonja: I have no idea. Earlier, I used to know the direction in which my career could develop and how some story related to me unfolds, but now that’s not the case. I have no idea and I must say I’m not even interested in what anyone says, what happens, because it’s all around me. It goes in one ear and out the other. I try to be in maximum control of my thoughts, my decisions about where I want to be, what I want, for how much I want. I’m focused only on Real Madrid and the end of our season, on the trophies we’re attacking. And maybe it’s good that I’m in that position because I don’t allow anything to affect my games, nor would I allow such things to affect me. At the end of the day, these are nice worries… -via Jutarnji / February 29, 2024

“They started pointing fingers at me, and that feeling, that big pressure, developed. I’ve never been the type to be burdened by that, but it became something around me. As I am, I began to question myself, thinking about where my fault was because you can’t be happy in such circumstances. I looked for reasons within myself, but I couldn’t find any. I couldn’t talk about it publicly because everyone would say, “look at him, he doesn’t see any problem within himself, he’s never to blame.” However, I didn’t find answers to the questions of whether someone playing was better than me, whether I was bad, or whether I wasn’t training enough? Everything I did, I tried to do perfectly, but there was that label. The Knicks were the wrong decision; the story when I came was that I was practically a future All-Star, not that I wouldn’t play. And at the end of the day, I’m glad I returned to Europe.” -via Jutarnji / February 29, 2024
