Jean Montero is one of the fashion names in Seville. The Dominican was key in the tremendous victory of Betis in extra time against Breogán a few days ago and has gone through the microphones of Radius Brand to talk about his game moment, the NBA dream and other topics.
Here is an excerpt from the interview with Montero:
game time
“These days confidence has been through the roof. I am very proud of the work that I have been doing for a few months and I dreamed of having this type of sensation. Confidence has been key because before I doubted so as not to make mistakes, I am very grateful to Luis Casimiro for the confidence he has given me. Before coming to Seville, he talked to my parents and told them that he wanted to compete and improve every day ”
growth and confidence
“I went to Overtime last year and then trained with the national team, the November window has been the engine that propels me to the moment I’m living now. I want to continue demonstrating my talent and achieve permanence, what comes in the summer I no longer decide. I am delighted in Seville”
Basketball in Dominican
“To be honest, to this day I still haven’t had the feeling that ‘I’m a World Cup’ player, I have it in my imagination but I haven’t enjoyed it yet. The Dominican Republic is known for baseball and not for basketball, but basketball is the sport that is most practiced because there are courts everywhere and it has grown a lot. There is a lot of talent”
Idols and references
“In my house there was a computer and I grew up watching videos of Kobe Bryant, I spent the day watching ‘highlights’, I remember the finals against Boston… He is my idol. Nowadays I really like Paul George because of his mentality and his way of playing.”
nba dream
“The NBA is the dream of every basketball player but so far my idea is to focus on doing well in Seville, then God and talent will take me where I have to go”
