Vasilije Micic finally fulfilled his dream NBA this summer when signing for the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, with half the season already played, he is not receiving the prominence that he surely expected in his debut in the league.
«From the outside, for people who follow my career, some things may not be easy for me“said Vasilije Micic during an interview with SelloutCrowd. «But that’s not important to me. The most important thing is my current feeling, and my current feeling is showing me that everything makes sense, that everything has been for a reason..
The Serbian point guard compared his current situation in OKC with the first years of his career in Europe: «Everything I have achieved in Europe has not been given to me. I had to work to get it. Nobody gave me anything there. That’s how I learned«.
And, with his words, Vasilije Micic shows that he does not regret the step taken: «The decision to come here was something that at first may not have seemed so logical to some people.. But, for me, knowing what I’ve been through, it is something that presented itself as another challenge. And right now I feed on it«.
His coach in the Thunder, Mark Daigneaultalso analyzed Micic’s situation:
«He wasn’t guaranteed anything, he didn’t want to be guaranteed anything.. She just wanted a chance. And he put himself at the bottom of the mountain after working very hard to get to the top somewhere else. So, as a person, he really respects the vulnerability and bravery of putting yourself in that situation. And then, obviously, he has had to work hard to get here«.
So far, Vasilije Micic has played an average of 12 minutes in a total of 25 games, averaging 3.3 points (25% on three-pointers) and 2.4 assists.
