It still felt like a childhood dream today, said the 29-year-old from Würzburg in an interview with “Münchner Merkur” and “tz”. “This is now my fifth season, but it’s still like a dream,” affirmed Kleber, who has only played for the Dallas Mavericks, the former team of compatriot and superstar Dirk Nowitzki, in the United States.
Kleber has had a corona infection and recently had to fight injuries. “But everything is much better now, the summer, in which I was also in Germany twice, was good,” said Kleber, who is considered an important role player by the Texans around leading figure Luka Doncic and is praised above all for his strong defense .
On the vaccination issue surrounding professional Kyrie Irving, who is currently not considered by the Brooklyn Nets because of his unclear vaccination status, Kleber commented: “It is difficult to assess. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether they want to be vaccinated. But in the end it works It’s about the big picture and you as a player just have to be aware that you are not allowed to play in certain cities. And that’s okay too. ” He also had himself vaccinated “and had nothing against it”.
