Spain Basketball Team: Garuba: “It’s a goal to fight for medals with the team in the future”

Usman Garuba went to the Eduardo Rojo school, in the Vallecas district of Madrid, to present the Campus Social Basket Kellogg’s, an initiative that will make 300 children from the capital, Malaga and Valencia, who for socioeconomic reasons do not have access to some leisure and sports activities , enjoy learning the technique and living the values ​​of basketball.

Thanks to the incisive questions of the little ones who gathered at the event, we know that the Rockets pvot wears a 51, that he is Pisces, that his favorite colors are red and black, that he is not allergic to anything, that his favorite animals are fish, that his favorite food is cereal, a normal response in a Kellogg’s act… But what unleashed the madness among the kids was that he chose Cristiano Ronaldo over Leo Messi, LeBron James over to Michael Jordan… and that he had a girlfriend!

After the demanding children’s questionnaire, Garuba spoke about his presence in the Spanish team this summer both at the FIBA ​​Windows and at the Eurobasket. “I want to work and enjoy myself. I give all my availability. I would like to be part of the team for a long time and stand out in the future. I work for it. It is a goal to fight for medals in the future,” says the pvot who assesses the possible nationalization of Lorenzo Brown: “Any help will be good for the national team. There are the injuries to Ricky and Alocn and the retirement of Sergio Rodríguez, but we have plenty of players for that position, quality players who can supply them well” .

Nationalize Lorenzo Brown? Any help will be fine for the national team, but we have plenty of quality players for that position

The NBA final begins this Friday and Garuba believes that he will have “dark circles under his eyes. They will be good games. There is a high level in both teams. I prefer the Warriors, but I do not rule out that Boston gives the surprise. They are very good equipment”.

And tonight the semifinals of the Endesa League start. The Rockets player hopes that “my Madrid will reach the final. I miss them. They have been the team of my whole life. They always compete. I know how things work. I spent three years there and when everything looks worst, they are always ah. It would be strange if the final wasn’t Madrid-Bara”.
