Joel Freeland Remains Humble As NBA Training Camp Opens

By Sam Neter on October 2, 2012

It was NBA media day yesterday, meaning it was the first opportunity we got to see GB star Joel Freeland in his Portland Trailblazers kit and for the media to have a chat with him.

And as you’d expect, Freeland is remaining humble as he enters training camp. Talking to the Portland Tribune he said:

“I’m assuming that I’m just going to come in and do what I can to earn a position on the team, and hopefully the hard work will pay off. All I can do is play the way I play, play the way I know and learn. I can’t do any more than that.”

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.
