Jervon thanks for talking to German Hoops. You are back on your way back to the United States after being released from German Pro A team Dresden Titans. Were you able to wind down on the flight a bit or was the Dresden Titans season fiasco in your head?
I mentally moved on to getting myself prepared to help my next team and not dwell on the past. Short term memory. What’s done is done.
The Dresden Titans released you and American Randal. Do you feel it was the right decision to release it´s two best players so late in the season?
To the club it was the right decision to release the team’s two best players.
When you came out of training camp this season and somebody had told you on the eve of the first game that the team would only have 2 wins by late January and be the door mat of the league what would you have thought?
