As he agreed on cooperation with Cibona, M.J. Rhett told: ”My contract with Cibona means a lot to me! I know this is a very historic club and i just want to work hard and strive to stay on top and win some championships! I’ve only played in Europe two times and that was in Prístina and France my first two years pro. So for me, i’m really excited to get back to Europe to elevate my game and do everything i can to help the team win! For sure, I heard about the ABA League but never took the opportunity to come play until now!”

M.J. Rhett dolazi u Zagreb
Košarkaški klub Cibona potpisala je jednogodišnji ugovor s Malcolm Jaleel Rhettom.
26-godišnjak je atletičan igrač koji može pokriti obje visoke pozicije. M.J. je all-around igrač koji može igrati i licem i leđima prema košu, a može i čuvati sve pozicije. Timski je igrač i veoma aktivan u skakačkom dijelu igre. Iza sebe ima četiri NCAA sezone. Tri je igrao za Tennessee State i jednu za Mississippi.
Rhett ima iskustvo igranja na četiri kontinenta pa je tako igrao u Europi, Aziji, Sjevernoj i Južnoj Americi.
M.J. Rhett nakon potpisa za Cibonu izjavio je: ”Potpisivanje ugovora s Cibonom stvarno mi puno znači. To je povijesno veliki klub i želim dobro raditi i imam veliku želju da budem najbolji i osvajam titule prvaka. U Evropi sam do sada igrao samo u dva navrata, dok sam igrao za Prištinu i u Francuskoj. Drago mi je što se vraćam u Evropu i uradiću sve na svakoj utakmici, kako bi svojoj momčadi pomogao do pobjede. Mnogo toga sam čuo o ABA ligi, ali nikada do sada nisam imao mogućnost igrati u tom natjecanju.”
