Mike James swells his chest

Mike James, among the key players in Monaco’s historic qualification to the Euroleague Final Four, swells his chest. “The club hired me for these important games. That’s why I’m here,” said the former Olimpia man, author of 21 points (moreover, all the result of the first two periods played at a very high level) against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

“Maccabi is a great team,” James added, “To beat them we needed aggressiveness and that’s how it was. We are proud and I am happy to go to the Final Four with this team. We are having a great season and now we will see what happens against Olympiacos.”

In addition to Munich and Olympiacos in Istanbul will be Barcelona and Real Madrid, which eliminated Partizan with a super comeback in the series and also in Wednesday’s game.
