J: Hi, dumy! Great result in BBB this season again! What about some really short questions?
d: Hi, John! You are welcome, let's see..

J: Some words about yourself and your team. Is there anything that can be interesting to read about you?
d: I'm 23, I love playing basketball . It's probably the only sport I'm good at and that's why every time I play, I want to win. I get pissed if I loose to a player/team that I consider weaker, even though it's just a game and there's nothing at stake. Same goes for BB.
Now, about my team: it's named after the player I admire most, Shaquille O'Neal, not only for his talent and dominance , but also for his amazing career and personality. I've had this team for 10 seasons and won a lot of trophies and my every season's goal is to play in B3 along with the best teams out there.

J: Great! Nice desire for a victory! Some people really lack it in the game and in the real life either. Now, back to the BB. Some words about this year's tournament. Who is the favourite, as for you?
d: The tournament is very competitive as always and I am grateful to be one of the last 16 still in it. It's pretty hard to say who's the favorite. Judging from the ratings, my opponent should be the favorite, but ratings change every day :). I would like my team to win it, but if that's not possible then someone who didn't win it yet, an underdog.

J: A typical answer =). Now let us imagine the situation that you should start the game from the very beginning. What will be your tactics for first season? Would the result and the building of the stadium be the most important thing? Or maybe would you start trading?
I feel that the answer will be - that the training is the most important thing to start with. Well, then, what position would you like to train and why?
d: If I were to start from the beginning, I would do it the same way but more effective : training young inside players, because they require only a couple of skills and I think they're essential for a new team.

J: Khm.. Interesting.. If I would start playing BB - I would defenitely start training guards, especially PG. Ok, and the last question for today: How would you spend 10millions$ at the moment?
d: If I had 10 mil. $ right now, I would spend about 9 mil. $ on a great player and save the rest to be able to afford his salary for a while :) .

J: Now we say Good bye to dumy and wish him some more luck than usually =) Thank you for this really awesome answers!

Did you realise whichever manager you have interviewed first (or replies first) has gone on to lose.....

...our another correspondent Bob Apple is drinking beer in one of german pubs waiting for the next interview.

That's all for today, ESV Laim is our next victim!

B: Some words about yourself and your team. Is there anything that can be interesting to read about you?
L: No :D

B: That's really an unusual answer =)
Some words about this year's tournament. Who is the favourite, as for you?
L: The usual answer for the last seasons. And the question is pretty easy as for me. Globetrotters & Törööö

B: imagine the situation that you should start the game from the very beginning. What will be your tactics for first season? Would the result and the building of the stadium be the most important thing? Or maybe would you start trading?
I feel that the answer will be - that the training is the most important thing to start with. Well, then, what position would you like to train and why?
L:If you've time and motivation to analyze the market, buying and selling: Trade
If not, buy 5 guard trainees (each for 50k $ at most) and train them (PG/SG) for 1-2 seasons (max. profit). Extend your arena as early as possible, furthermore adjust prices periodically so a maximum is sold (and not sold out).

B: How would you spend 10millions$ at the moment?
L: I would buy a PG.

B: That's the answer that I was waiting to hear once. Possibly, the PG position is even more important than SF. If you have no good PG - you can not even hope for a good result.
