The ABA League 2015/16 Regular Season is over. Are you satisfied with your results so far?

"Well, you know what they are saying - It can always be better. We hoped that we would have a home court advantage in the Playoffs, but it turned out that we finished at the 3rd place. Still, we tied the club's regular season record, so we can be satisfied about that. Now, we hope that we can make a step forward in the Playoffs..."

You are the MVP of the ABA League 2015/16 Regular Season. How much does that reward mean to you?

"It means a lot. After all, it is my first major individual award. However, I would immediately changed it for the MVP award in the ABA League Finals, because that would mean that we are the champions. Therefore, our job has not been done yet. We are thinking only about the Playoffs."

Your opponent in the ABA League Semi-Finals will be Crvena zvezda Telekom. You defeated them both times in the regular season, but you suffered a defeat in the Euroleague clash. What do you expect now?

"It will be very tough semifinal series. We know each other very well. Both teams have qualified for the Euroleague TOP 16 stage, while Crvena zvezda Telekom will probably advance even further to the TOP 8 stage. So, it will be a true Euroleague clash. The odds are 50-50, while I hope that we will be victorious at the end."
