David Blatt Inspires Players at adidas EUROCAMP with Story on Ante Zizic

By Sam Neter on June 16, 2016

Former Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach, David Blatt, took a moment from his summer to attend adidas EUROCAMP 2016 and talk to all the young men about their basketball careers – using an inspiring story about projected 2016 NBA first round pick, Ante Zizic.

“Everything that you do is important,” Blatt began with. He spoke for just under an hour in total, with a lot of interesting and valuable anecdotes that are just as relevant to every young player in the UK as they were to the players from across Europe that were in attendance in Treviso.

Blatt has recently signed with Darüşşafaka Doğuş in Turkey, to be their new Head Coach.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
