More on this storyline
Even in a road game, the Lithuanian crowd supported its team all the way, and Walker relished the experience more than anything else. “10 out of 10, I loved it,” he uttered. “The fanbase and the atmosphere are the big difference-makers from the NBA to here. How people are excited and locked in. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone go get something to drink or eat,” he noticed. -via BasketNews / November 8, 2024
“Obviously, I couldn’t put a basketball in the ocean, but this is my first game,” Walker admitted talking to Lithuanian reporters right after his team’s 74-77 defeat. “I learned a lot, I’ve seen a lot. You know, Munich won are on a 5-game winning streak now. I played one bad game, but we continue to have a hell of a season. I’m not excited nor upset about how I played.” -via BasketNews / November 8, 2024
