it I hope you had a good summer um I want to ask what was your initial reaction when you learned that you guys were getting Klay Thompson unbelievable uh yeah uh I mean he's a four-time champion uh he's amazing player uh so I was very excited you know uh that he signed with us and I can't wait to play with him Luka you said last year uh toward the end of the finals that obviously a learning experience for you after you got away were able to process it some what did you take away from that
you know how do you think that experience can make you uh better moving forward I think just the experience to being in the finals uh you know I think it's different than other games uh I don't know why I can't explain uh but just being there feels different and obviously last year wasn't good enough uh you know we wanted to win it all uh so that's uh like when I say it's you're going to learn is the same as motivation you know it's a big motivation to win it all right Luka um so you we
Jordan brand this is your third signature shoe I want your thoughts on it and I excited for you to continue to have your own shoe for the brand I mean that's basically what every kid kid dream about what I dream about you know to have my own shoe and to have in company I mean if you say company uh MJ Michael Jordan uh it's it's a dream contr true for real and you know all the experience I've been through with Jordan so uh it's it's really a pleasure to to to have this shoe Luka Luka
how important was it for you this goad dthy you got it Dorothy how important was it for you this summer to just have some time to be a dad to relax kind of hang out how did it help you to get ready for this season oh it was a big time uh you know obviously I had uh some stuff to do uh went straight to National Team uh but after national team you know got some rest uh be a dead like you said so it was it was really great summer uh but now we're ready
to work Luca I know you said uh Clay is unbelievable to have him on the team how how do you think he's going to change the offense and and change just how you guys play on that end having a shooter of that level I mean you basically can't help off him uh you know when me me and Kai when we have the ball uh you know you basically can't H from clay uh because if you live in wide open he's going to make it so I think uh this spacing is going to be crucial for
us and you know but more of that I will tell you after a couple games so more dunks from you this season no maybe Luca right um after after the finals run obviously there's a lot of expect expectations to come with that but how do you personally deal with the expectations and all the extra noise that comes with you being expected to fight your way back there again I love it because that means we did something great uh something good uh you know uh I've been dealing with this since uh Real Madrid uh so I'm
used to it uh but I think for the whole team that should be his motivation you know you did something good so people expect you to be good and that's that's a good sign L Luka Landon Thomas master for life last year the team went to Abu Dhabi in in Madrid as well and that was a big bonding experience for the team now going to Vegas this year how do you see that trip um going for the team with new players I mean yeah uh it's always a great experience uh I remember last year you
know we had a a great time we practiced hard uh so for a team to be together you know not just in Dallas uh where we have everybody have homes uh uh just to be together you know go to dinner and do stuff together uh it's a big part of chemistry look at Landon beer with Landon beer.com sorry um thoughts about um being a part of Goran dr's um retirement game yeah it was a big deal uh you know he had an amazing career uh a lot of great names were there uh it was really
fun so he deserved that last game for his career all right we got time for one more oh just one more for this season you got me there [Music] uh one word champion ship that's the goal all right thank you awesome thanks Luka
