Arek, at this year´s Prague International Streetball Cup, you were one of the two co-winners of the Slam
Dunk Battle for Europe competition. How did you enjoy this contest?
I think, this contest was pretty nice for and people´s reaction was amazing.
The prize money of 500 euros was shared with your rival Ivars Rihards Žvigurs. How did you enjoy the duel? Was
it one of the top rivals you´ve ever played?
I was started against the best dunkers in the world on the biggest stages and I´m so proud about that.
Rihards is great dunker with really nice vertical and that was not first time, when we played together.
As you have seen, according to the feelings and atmosphere, your show has been extremely entertained by the
fans. Did you show the dunks just the way you imagined? And how was the atmosphere in general?
Atmosphere was crazy and I love feeling this contact with public. (smile)
Which smash was in your opinion the best?
Dubble up over standing guy on chair.
How did you like to dunk on this tournament, which was played in a specific place, right in the city center,
on Wenceslas Square, which is the heart of Prague?
I feel so good, cuz in the center of Prague was a lot of people, who gave us a lot of energy to do these crazy
things. I love these people.
As I could see on social networks, you are one of the most successful smashers at least in Europe. How many
victories have you already won in this skill competition and which is for you the most valuable?
Yes, last 3 years were crazy for me. I won a lot of dunk contests and be a competitor on Eurocup in Andorra,
Fiba 3×3 in Mexico, Utsonomiya, Prague, Debrecen, Rio, Lausanne, Ghetto Games Kings of Air in Riga, Shutupandplay
in Berlin and Munich, The Cage in Bad Ailbing, Battle 4 Poland in Kalisz.
How many years have you been specializing in smashing competitions and which competition would you like to
overmastered in the future? Do you have any dream you are following and you would like to achieve?
I start, when I was 18. I wanna always making progress to won a lot of the most important competition in the
world.
If it would be possible, can we look forward to some of yours – even new ones smashes in the next Prague
International Streetball Cup?
