Before the season, Shved further committed himself to Khimki’s future when he signed a contract extension through 2020. Shved spoke to EuroLeague.net over the weekend about his team’s strong start to the season, his role on the team and much more.
“Sometimes I just want to be a good guy. It’s important not just to be a good player, but to be a good guy also off of the court,” Shved said in summing up part of his philosophy. “If you want to win, everybody needs to stay together and have fun off the court.”
Congratulations on a 2-0 record. You could not have hoped for a better start to the season.
“Thank you. It’s a good start for us. The tournament is different now, so every game is important. We just need to keep playing the same way.”
From the side it looks like you are having as much fun as ever playing this season. Do you agree?
“Yes. Like I said, the tournament has changed and every game is interesting for the players and for the fans, too. So it’s much better. I played in the NBA before, so playing two, three four games a week is normal for me. The EuroCup is a different level, too, where we played just once a week. We just need to be ready.”
