Tyrique Jones: No one in the world can be Mathias Lessort except himself

Tyrique Jones, the new center for Partizan, shared his thoughts in an interview with Mozzart, discussing his expectations for the season and comparisons with former player Mathias Lessort. Jones stated: “I can’t promise to do what Lessort did, nor to be like him. No one in the world can be Mathias Lessort except himself. Likewise, no one can be Tyrique Jones. I want the fans to see what I can do. I’m not trying to imitate others; I want to be authentic on the court.”

Jones also praised the legendary coach Željko Obradović: “Working with Obradović means never being satisfied with what you’ve already achieved. He’s a great teacher, always giving you the answers you seek and challenging you every time you step on the court.”

He also emphasized the importance of following the game plan: “If we stick to his plan, there won’t be any problems. He allows us some room to improvise when necessary, but it’s crucial to respect his vision, as it gives us a better chance to win.”
