Hi everybody,
Everyone starts off their blogs by saying hello and introducing themselves, but I wanna start by giving a shout out to all my teammates from khimki! Today we played a vtb cup game in Latvia and despite all the clouds of negativity hanging around the team, I was extremely proud of our guys and the coaching staff for being incredibly positive and getting a win during a crucial time in our season. Only bad thing is I re-sprained a nagging ankle injury that's been bothering...
