Scoring this year in assists in three-o percentage how do you think you’ve improved year toe to this point Luca uh I don’t know really how but uh I know we got to win more games uh I think we’re struggling a little bit but you know you just got to work on everything

Uh take bigger steps every year and every year becomes more of a challenge a couple weeks couple days ago I heard your coach say he was going to have a conversation with you about all the bickering with the referees and then last night you get thrown on have you

Had that conversation with your coach and what do you have to do to ease the tension between you and the referees and stay in the game yeah he’s got to be me you know uh I didn’t have that conversation with coach yet but it’s got

To be me uh you know you just got to stay calm uh I’m very passionate on the court uh off Court I’m a little shy so when I step on the court it’s just a different person uh but you know it’s on me uh I got to do it yeah I mean as

Jason says he says you know he says Luca was running hot at the time and and you do run hot uh when you play but can you still maintain the game you want to play and try to change that intensity level yeah I mean I have to do it you know

This is like I said on me and I have to do it uh got to play with the same passion you know I always they always said to me uh I like your game because you’re having fun out there you’re smiling and I just think I need to go

Back to that a little bit more you know I always hear or we always hear the European game the American game obviously you grew up and playing in the Euro leagues and and dominating even at times at a young age what are the things that you bring that you say man this is

What everyone kind of does over there but they don’t really do it here and I kind of brought that to this uh I think European basketball is a little bit more tactical than NBA you know in NBA I don’t think you have many actions uh in Europe you almost basically every time

You go down there you have I mean on offense you have uh some call uh but it’s just different B basketball uh I mean basically because of the rules the rules are a little bit different and you know uh the talent you have have an NBA you don’t have anywhere so it’s it’s

Really tough to play defense uh you have Superstar almost on every team now so it’s so so much talent in this league you know I just want to congratulate you on making an All-Star team because I told Ernie we were talking earlier I think it’s probably more special to make

The All-Star team today because of the mixture of the votes you know back in men Shack days you know we didn’t have fans media players so I just want to say congratulations cuz when you get selected by your peers that’s to me even more special and the coaches the fans

You know they going to always pick their favorites but when your peers uh pick you and the coaches that’s speci so congratulations and you see you would have been a powerful forward as you stand next to him was he taller than you I was playing the the first year hey

First of all I can’t guard you out there and you can’t guard me in the post let’s get I’m a good post Defender what what is it like to realize this dream look you came over here as a teenager but now you’re six years in at

The age of 24 and now becoming an Allstar is is what we all expect but what what makes the night special when you’re out there with those other guys um because every time I’m there you know I remember when I was a kid uh I always

Tred to to watch the All-Star game uh but they wouldn’t let me my parents were let me it was like 3:00 a.m. I had to school uh so you know I just wanted to be in the NBA that’s all first year I didn’t know what to expect where I’m

Going to be uh but I was just happy to be here and to play basketball at the highest level so when you were a kid and now you’re just old at 25 24 24 you’re just ancient nowadays I was like when I was a kid I’m like dude you’re 24 I like

Didn’t ask you this because when you get online today you’re all over the place for this whatever happened in Dallas last night with the Phoenix Suns fan who you wanted out of there what was what was the deal there Luca yeah I mean it was the whole game you know a little bit

But uh I was really frustrated you know we were losing I twisted my ankle in the second half so in the first half it was just a lot of emotions uh but yeah uh probably shouldn’t have done that so when I’m wrong I admit it so probably

Shouldn’t have done that but it was just the whole game going on and you want me to show you what to do when somebody get on your nerves I was going to ask Chuck go ahead go ahead don’t hurt this man he got the allar game play got got a game
