Sergio interviewed by his fans.

by amlmart1 on May 22, 2009 7:32 AM PDT

Summary (skipping what I considered irrelevant):

European Championship: I don´t know whether I´ll be selected or not, I´m not thinking about it. I´m thinking about working and trainning.

Rumors about Sergio and the Bulls: I don´t trust rumors. I´ll talk when it´s done.

The most impressive NBA player: Lebron.

What team Sergio like to be traded to: Any team that trusts on him and allows him to keep improving.

Two questions in the same sentence, will Sergio continue in Portland and what team will win the NBA: I hope the Lakers win, but Cleveland is at a very high level (of basketball). (Note: if you still think that Sergio didn´t answer one of the two questions you probably are not a Blazer fan. Well, just kidding, Sergio is a friend of Gasol, that is.)

What does Sergio think about Iverson: he´s one of his favorite players.

How is his relationship with Nate: cordial and profesional. It has been better this year because my English has improved.

Has the team too much Roy dependency: Roy is a great player and has won many games for us. Our sin was inexperience.

How are the american players as friends? They´re different to the Spanish. I have very good relationship with all of them, especially with Frye and Aldridge.

What does Sergio think about the playoffs and did the Nuggets surprise him: he´s liking the playoffs a lot. The Nuggets didn´t surprise him. He saw them as favorites, with the Lakers permission standing on their way. He likes their playing style.

Worst moment in Portland: when he didn´t play.

About his terms with Blake: Very good. He´s a great guy.

Who is the best NBA PG: Deron Williams.

Does Sergio think that he has changed his playing style to fit into the rotation: No. You have to adapt yourself to different kinds of playing but I´ve kept my style intact.

What would be Sergio´s advice to his brother, still a young basketball player, to go soon to the NBA or to wait and play more time in Spain: Each person has its circumstances, and he´ll always want the best for his brother. And his brother´s dream is to play in the NBA.

There are rumors about Sergio and the Bulls? Kirk Hinrich, here we come

I was thinking that too.

I don’t want to jinx it thought.

I bet it is just the Spanish media reading Blazers Edge

If it was a “real rumor” (man I feel stupid just for saying that) then we would have heard about it and there would be 100 additional Hinrich fanposts.

I hope they read my comments

I never let go a chance to show how crapppy I think Marca and the sports media in spain is, they created the whole sergio vs nate controversy out of nowhere.

>For any marca journalis; Si, creoque dais mucho asco y que vuestra linea editorial tiene el nivel de un panfleto publicitario.
Best regards.

they didn't create it

The “controversy” happened because sports media amplified an uncomfortable situation.

Obviously Nate and Sergio disagree on whether Sergio should play. People ask Sergio his opinion on the subject, he tells them his honest opinion, and they print it.

Over and over again.

Marca, the Oregonian, Blazers’ Edge – what’s the difference? If we read in five different locations that Sergio is “complaining”, it seems amplified, probably five times as much as it should be. – Elgin

VENTURA: It's drowning. It gives you the complete sensation that you are drowning. It is no good, because you -- I'll put it to you this way, you give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.

Seriously

what is with all the Blazers liking the Lakers?

"What is the Soup Du Jour?"
"It's the Soup of the Day."
"Mmmm. That sounds good. I'll have that."
