Motiejus Krivas and Ugnius Jaruševičius, representing the “Wildcats,” were greeted by the attention of relatives and journalists.
But eyes were not only on the two Lithuanians, but also on the American bearing a famous name.
Wearing a hood and glasses, 19-year-old Bryce James also arrived in Lithuania.
He is the second oldest son of LeBron James, a few years younger than his brother Bronny James, who has been part of the “Los Angeles Lakers” team for two years, where his father played until this summer.
Although the group of journalists who arrived at the airport hoped to hear comments from B. James, the American refused to communicate with the media, and his teammates had to speak for him.
“A very good personality. As a basketball player – he has his skills, clearly visible during training, but he is still a developing player. In the future, I think Bryce will be a very good player,” said M. Krivas about the young James, revealing that LeBron himself visited the team’s training two weeks ago.
These students did not come to Lithuania just for fun. Over the next week, they will play three friendly matches: against the Lithuanian and Ukrainian national teams and against the Lithuanian reserve team.
The Arizona team represented by M. Krivas, U. Jaruševičius, and B. James will face the Lithuanian national team coached by Rimas Kurtinaitis on August 22 in Alytus.
