VIDEO ⟩ Porzingis went to Japan with “Wizards”.

For the “Wizards” team, the flight to Tokyo, the capital of Japan, took 14 hours. The club went away with an impressive delegation of around 100 people.

It is worth noting the fact that the “Wizards” team includes Japanese national basketball player Rui Hachimura, so we can guess which team the local audience will support. The Washington basketball player hopes to be able to recommend a place to see or a sushi restaurant to his teammates.

On the other hand, the brightest star of the team, Bradley Beal, is one of the few players who will visit Japan for the second time. The defender remembers that on a previous visit he watched samurai and sumo fights. Biel told the media that he would love to visit sumo wrestling again, which he thinks is the most entertaining sport in the world.

The Golden State club is also not without Japanese “roots”, one of the main sponsors is the Japanese company “Rakuten”, which is headquartered in Tokyo.

In a conversation with “Washington Post”, Porzingis emphasized that the long flight does not worry him, because it is a time when he can calmly organize his thoughts. The Latvian basketball star admitted that he would like to sit next to his Japanese teammate during the flight in order to get to know the local culture more.
