In May, the Lithuanian basketball legend celebrated his 60th birthday. Basketball specialist who wore a green and white shirt for less than 10 years, won many titles during his career and, after becoming a coach, is also successful.
The strategist, who currently works for the Chimki team in the Moscow region, spoke on various topics online. One of them is interesting details about the Russian club’s biggest star Alexei Swede.
“He just came to our attention then. We have to fight him, we have talked to him and we have been sharper, we have to stop playing. Still, he is a very good and excellent player.
“Chimki has a future with him, because if we lost him this summer, the entire team would have to reassemble,” said the Olympic champion, who also mentioned the circumstances of Keith Langford’s separation from the team during the conversation.
Kurtinaitis, who has been remembering the Žalgiris team since ancient times, also appreciated the step taken by Kaunas residents in recent years in both team performance and organization.
“No, Žalgiris is no longer cannon fodder. Žalgiris is one of the most serious teams in the Euroleague. I am not as afraid of Real Madrid as I am of Žalgiris. I am no longer talking about Kaunas:” Žalgiris “is not the team that you hope to outperform on the road here, the viewers are really the sixth player, they all work in one job, “said the former Žalgiris resident of attitude towards the team.
During his career as a basketball player, both in the Žalgiris club and in the national team or the Real Madrid team, Kurtinaitis was able to enjoy a game with the legendary Arvydas Sabonis, with whom he had a special connection.
“I remember driving the ball, Arvydas shows it to him in plain sight and it is clear whether he should be given a high or low pass.” I don’t even know how to name those signs. He looks at me and knows where to drop the ball.
We looked at each other and knew where to drop the ball and where to run, ”said a strategist who had finished his basketball career in 2006 about an old friend from the team.
