Quote!
“How did you feel about the trade? And it looks like your first game went well, what can you say about your team?”
“Didn’t feel no ways being traded to be honest. After I found out to where I was getting traded too I was happy at the fact that I was going to a team with weapons. Guys like Shaq, Jamie Coote, Martin Cruz, and Ahsan. I knew we had good pieces to get a good run for a championship. And as for tonight our team played really well. It was our first game together, we had some up and down moments during the game. But my teammates gave me the upmost confidence to do what I do, and that’s lead this team to a win. We are definitely a team to watch out for and I already cant wait for next Monday.” - Norman Penola
