Jordi referenced former Net great Jorge Gutierrez. Tremendously deep cut lol
Some highlights:
Marks says the way Fernandez keeps players accountable drew him to him
Shouts out Mike Brown and Sergio Scariolo as his American and European basketball fathers, respectively
Doesn’t know how good he is at building relationships, but promises that he will try and will care
Excited by the youth on the team
Wants sustainable success more than automatic success
Wants to do things “The Brooklyn Way”
Has no doubt that we will see the effects of a winning culture right away
Wants the team to play fast and try hard on both sides of the floor
Believes the roster as constructed can help achieve his goals
Prioritizes team success over individual success
Re-signing Claxton is a priority, admires his strengths in defensive versatility, and in the pick-and-roll and dribble handoffs. Claxton is a “perfect fit” for what he wants to do and thinks he can be a Defensive Player of the Year
Believes it is an honor to represent Spanish basketball on the NBA stage. Refers to his hometown of Badalona as one of the best basketball cities in the world
Sounds like the same as the other 3 HC press conferences we’ve had
