Mike James spoke to “BeBasket” after Game 1 of the French league Finals where Monaco won soundly against Paris.
The American accompanied by Sasa Obradovic spoke about their relationship, which looks rock solid. He said that they share some similarities.
“Both of us are only interested in winning. He’s one of the few who takes defeat even worse than me. I respect him for that. Since day one, we have had a good relationship and it has only gotten better over the years”, Mike James said at the beginning.
It looks like he wants to continue in the Principality:
“This is my third season in Monaco and it would be great to continue here to win the EuroLeague with the same coach. That would be the dream. It is the objective. But it seems so far away now when we have Game 2 tomorrow”.
His contract is expiring at the end of the season. Therefore after the prior quote he was asked about him staying.
“We always want to stay in good situations and accomplish our goals, to go all the way with a team. However, I don’t think I have reached the end of the road with Monaco. But you never know. I hope that we will win this title of champion of France and we will see afterward. Nothing is finalized in any case”.
