Thanks Sidney for talking to germanhoops.com You just ended your first season overseas with a tough 122-101 loss. You scored a season high 48 points. Could you enjoy it in any way despite the loss?

Yes and no, it’s always good to achieve a new season high but as a competitor you always want it to contribute to a win. We were unfortunately short handed that game, missing three important players, and also for a good portion of the season we were without two other important players as well. With them I do believe that game and the season goes differently for us.

Is this the most points that you ever made in a game in your life?

In a game with true stats yes this is, I do strive to one day to get more.

You had a huge season and huge games this season, but saved your best for last. How did you feel coming into your last game? Did you eat anything different or special or prepare differently for this game?

Honestly I did my same routine, from breakfast to shoot around. I did feel I was going to have a bad game initially in the shoot around because I couldn’t make shots consistently. I felt I was off but I’m glad that was just a feeling.

How quickly did you know going into the game that this could be a very good scoring game for you?

I felt after I made our first 10 points that I could have at least gotten 30, I have had numerous games where I started very strong like that in either the first or second quarter, I just happened to stay hot throughout the rest of the game.

What was your feeling at half-time? Did you feel like your luck would continue in the second half?

I felt like I could keep it going, by half time shoot around unlike the pregame shoot around, I couldn’t miss a shot. That’s all I needed to see to give me more confidence in the second half.

You only took 24 shots. Looking back does it bug you a bit that you didn´t shoot more? You were close to 50 points.

No it doesn’t bother me that I didn’t shoot more, I had a total of 8 chances to get to 50, I should have just made those shots or even taken better shots. It’s just something I can look at and know for future games to value the shots I’m given.

You also only took 5 free throws. Were you content with your aggressiveness or could you have been a bit more aggressive?

I for sure feel I could have been more aggressive getting to the line and I tried, some fouls were definitely called before the shot unfortunately but that’s just the way the game gets called.

How much self confidence does a game like this give you for the future? Is 50 points a new goal for you?

It gives me a lot of confidence for sure, definitely gratifying to see your hard work put to its full potential and it lets me know to keep working hard. 50 is definitely a goal or even 60 but again with hard work these personal goals can be achieved.

You hit 11 three´s in the game and 10 in another game. What do the 11 three´s mean to you? Very seldom do guys hit as many three´s as you did?

It’s the most I have ever made in a meaningful game, it means a lot to make so many 3’s in such an efficient manner, it lets me know it can be done, but not something I should look to force in the future.

What was your favorite own basket of the game?

My favorite basket had to be in the third quarter with 9 on the shot clock. I got the ball on the right wing, drove left then spun back right into a step back rainbow 3. I feel that shot showed myself the type of night I was having.

Did you have to get donuts for the team or did they treat you to something?

No donuts at all just a good team meal after the game, I was glad to say I left with a full stomach from the restaurant we attended.

Did you get any special messages from people that you didn´t necessarily expect?

No, everyone who has been a part of the journey showed me love about the accomplishment, and I’m grateful for that, I don’t want new faces only around when things go great.

Thanks Sidney for the chat.
