For me, I feel at home in this club where I grew up and where I know everyone. I have always had a special relationship with the staff, and the public of course. This decision is also explained by the fact of having an important role as well, and of always going in search of excellence. The club has always had big ambitions, and every year it shows in the results. It’s something that is rooted in me, and we agree a lot on that. In addition to that, we are living through an unprecedented period in French basketball with the workforce that is currently rising within the Roca Team. It’s really great to be able to evolve in a very high level team», indicates the Yak ‘.
