David Blatt, who is currently in Israel with his family Batz, was recently interviewed on Greek television, where he told about his health condition, the professional future of his son Tamir, and of course did not forget to hand out compliments to former trainee, LeBron James.
Blatt, who was diagnosed with MS in August 2019, said of dealing with the word: "The truth is I look better than I feel. It's a serious illness that usually lasts a long time, and the type I have is getting worse. I'm obviously not like I was before the disease, at least in terms "Physical and trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle with exercise. I hold up well now I do not jump over buildings or chase people on the field, but feel pretty good. The main thing is to maintain a positive attitude."
On Tamir's professional future: "He will play for Alba Berlin next season, I believe he is ready for the task and that he can manage at these levels. The Euroleague is the highest level in Europe and Tamir is constantly working hard to get there. He plays well for the team and his team for Israel, "And I'm happy for him. He needs to end the season at Hapoel Jerusalem in the best way possible."
On the experience of coaching King James: "How many people had the opportunity to coach the best player in the world? It's definitely exceptional and unique. Of course the experience of working with LeBron, working in the NBA and participating in the finals, enriched me professionally. It did not end well. "For me, but I had a good time in the NBA in relation to a European coach. Overall, I achieved good results. I try not to look back with regret."
On LeBron's current fitness: "What LeBron has done in the last year and a half, at 36 and after all the years he has played, is just something phenomenal. I think he can be a better player than he has ever been, and he was already the best in the world. "The hat on his face for what he did. He does not do ordinary things on the field. There is no doubt."
