NACHBAR: EVEN KIDD CAN MOVE TO EUROPE

Sport Express interviewed Bostjan Nachbar, who is to play for BC Dinamo Moscow next season.


Bosjan Nachbar, the 28-year old Slovenian forward, a former New Jersey Nets player, has signed a three-year contract with BC Dinamo.

"It all happened so suddenly," said Nachbar. "If somebody had said at the beginning of the summer that I am going to play in Moscow, I wouldn’t have believed it."

"Life is so unpredictable, and now I am 100% sure that my decision was right. Everybody would do the same in my position. Offers from clubs like Dynamo are not to be rejected."

"The Nets offered a new contract to me, they were fighting for me, but they could not cope with the competition."

"Lots of players who became free agents are in the same situation now. The NBA cannot provide them with acceptable financial conditions. And European clubs take advantage."

"Taxes are lower in Europe and wages depend on the euro, which is much more stable than the dollar. If dollar rates don’t stop falling many famous players will move from the US to Europe. And I do not think Jason Kidd was joking when he said that next year he could join a European club."

"I think David Blatt is one of the best European coaches. I enquired about him and heard no negative responses."

"I did not play for Slovenia in the Olympic qualifying tournament as I could not risk my health being a free agent and they refused to give me extra insurance. It is quite clear that though there are plenty of good sites in Slovenia it is impossible to bring it all together, as there are no people who want to deal with the national team. Our basketball federation has no permanent office by the way."

"I can return to NBA, there is a clause in my contract that I can go to the US after two seasons in Dinamo."
