Jago dos Santos of Red Star Meridianbet, shared insights about his former teammate Shabaz Napier. Reflecting on the triumphant clash against Milan, dos Santos deemed it a blueprint for optimal gameplay.
“When we play good defense, then we can do everything – then we have more confidence, we shoot better, and we can create problems for everyone. I think the match with Milan is the direction we should go,” expressed Jago.
Dos Santos emphasized his team-first approach, indifferent to individual statistics, prioritizing collective success. “I am happy when the team wins. I know I’ve improved my game, but I can do even better. But I always say that the team is important, not the individual. Sometimes one pops up, in another game, someone else. I always try to be at the service of the team. What is it worth to me that I scored 24 points against Cedevita Olimpija when we lost? Better for me to score zero points and for the team to win,” he declared.
In the stylish city showdown, dos Santos faced off against his former comrade, Shabaz Napier, whom he holds in high regard. “I love Napier. He is a good player and a very good person. Playing against him was very interesting. He played in the NBA, was great in Europe, and I have to emphasize how much he helped me. He is my friend, and I was glad to play against him,” concluded dos Santos.
