The Spanish international has admitted that he had many doubts when it came to accepting the project and that the ‘culprits’ that he finally accepted it were his brothers. “My brothers convinced me. Well, plus my sister, who told me we were bored quarantining at my brother’s house in Charlotte, so I did the casting, I was passing tests and they caught me“, has told Juancho Hernangmez, who has shown his great sense of humor. “I’m a loser“, has indicated when Pablo Motos has said that in the casting it is appreciated that he has no experience in the world of interpretation and has given way to some images of it.

The host of ‘El Hormiguero’ wanted to know how the basketball player has fared with Adam Sandler. “Very well. It’s as if I were his eldest son, he loves basketball, he writes to me after my games, he gives me advice… He is a basketball fanatic. He watches more basketball than many players and coaches”, Juancho Hernangmez replied.”The only condition that I put on Netflix to make the film was that it had a gym and a pavilion to train. I got up very early to go to training and at 7:00 a.m. to go shooting until 7:00 p.m. “, he added.
“Adam Sandler is an international scout who is searching Europe for the next promise or the next player to break the mold. And he finds me playing in a park in Mallorca and tries to take me to the NBA. That’s where the story begins, I come from a somewhat complicated life, he also has his things and we fight for a dream together“, explained Juancho Hernangmez when Pablo Motos questioned him about the plot of ‘Claw’.
Juancho Hernangmez’s ‘weapons’ to throw his rivals off center
The presenter of ‘El Hormiguero’ has highlighted that in the film it is seen how he tries to throw the rival off center and has questioned the guest for the harshest thing he has been told in a pavilion. “These are things that cannot be told here. But I was going to Boston to play and suddenly a guy told me that I was bad and my brother was better. The most curious thing is that later he told him the same thing “, has related Juancho Hernangmez, who has revealed his ‘weapons’ to throw an opponent off center:”I am very choppy and I don’t like to lose anything, but there are lines that cannot be crossed. When I put a basket or make a mate I tell him: ‘That’s how we do it in Spain, you can’t defend me or a cone defends more than you’“.

Juancho Hernangmez has highlighted that he likes the atmosphere in the locker room of the Spanish team more than in that of an NBA team. “In the NBA, everyone goes their own way, there are people you live with… But in the national team we live together all day and fight for a common goal, not to earn money. The national team is special and I love to play with the national team“, has asserted the power forward who has played in half a dozen NBA franchises..
The philosophy of Juancho Hernangmez in the face of the uncertainty of his future
The man from Madrid does not know if he will continue with the Utah Jazz next season or join another team. “Until June 30 I know nothing. After so many transfers I have learned that there are things that do not depend on oneself, so I train, I’m with my friends and my family, I try to be the best person possible and if they transfer me, they transfer me, if they cut me, they cut me, and if they make me a contract, they make me a contract”, said Juancho Hernangmez In conclusion.
