Saratov guard also notes that All-Star rest is good but it’s time to get back to work:
Mason teammate Aleksandr Petenev won 2020 Slam dunk contest and became 2021 contest finalist where he lost to Tyus Battle. It’s fair to say that young guard knows how to lose with a little class: “Sure, I wasn’t expecting losing in final but that happens. You should know how to lose gracefully. This night Battle was obviously stronger than I”.
🎙Александр ПЕТЕНЁВ: «Надо уметь проигрывать достойно»
