Joe Arlauckas dishes with the Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade guard about his basketball growth in Australia and success in the EuroLeague<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The first player to sit with Joe Arlauckas for the new season of The Crossover came from Down Under.\u00a0Dante Exum<\/a>\u00a0shined at the Australian Institute of Sport and had several injury-riddled seasons in the NBA before landing in Spain last season to play for FC Barcelona.<\/p>\n

He faced the ultimate challenge only days after his arrival by debuting in El Clasico against the club\u2019s archenemy Real Madrid. Exum acquitted himself well, despite all the adjustments needed when joining a big club mid-season, including needing to fill in at times at all three perimeter positions.<\/p>\n

(46:00) “It was very difficult, coming in, coming over you have all these aspirations that you\u2019re gonna come over and dominate and do well, but you\u2019re coming into a team that\u2019s established, they\u2019re first in ACB, first in EuroLeague, so obviously something\u2019s working in the team,” Exum explained. “And for me, I was trying to come in and play a part in the team, but I wasn\u2019t trying to disrupt their winning and what they were doing.”<\/p>\n

Exum helped Barcelona reach the EuroLeague Final Four, win the Spanish Copa Del Rey and play in the ACB finals in a successful first season in Europe. At its end, he decided to look for a challenge with a club where he\u2019d have a bigger role and found that with Partizan, a club he knew a little about from a childhood friend. But the level of crowd support he discovered was beyond his wildest imagination.<\/p>\n

(1:05:50) “It\u2019s like a movie. You can\u2019t explain, like, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m about to play for these fans that just want us to win,\u2019” Exum said. ” I love looking out in the crowd and just seeing, there\u2019s like three or four of them that, they literally don\u2019t even watch the game, they\u2019re just standing up and they\u2019re just chanting\u2026 I\u2019ll watch them for like a minute. I should be watching the game, but I\u2019m watching them. They don\u2019t watch the game. A shot happens, they don\u2019t care. They\u2019re just ready to start the chants and make sure everyone\u2019s chanting. It\u2019s unbelievable. I can\u2019t explain it.”<\/p>\n

With Partizan, Exum is getting the chance to play for one of the great coaches in basketball, Zeljko Obradovic. Exum appreciates the way Obradovic is pushing him and his teammates to become better players.<\/p>\n

(1:09:55) “I think the biggest thing with him is that he challenges you\u2026 He\u2019ll give you the freedom to play, but he wants you to play smart. I think that\u2019s the biggest thing about him,” Exum explained. “Like yeah, you can go out there and do whatever you want, but play smart. Play the right way. That\u2019s the best thing that I\u2019ve liked about him so far.”<\/p>\n

Growing up in Australia, teenage stardom, becoming a lottery pick in the NBA, the frustration of major injuries that caused him to miss an entire season and the mental turmoil of those ordeals through the decision to come to the EuroLeague and his fine season in Belgrade, Exum and Arlauckas touched on all those topics in an entertaining 85-minute edition of the Crossover that you don\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

With a one-hour format of exclusive one-on-one interviews, The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas goes well beyond the playing court with each podcast to delve into the life experiences that have made his guests protagonists and legends of the EuroLeague. The Crossover debuted in 2018 and has featured such current stars as\u00a0Mike James<\/a>,\u00a0Nicolo Melli<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Vasilije Micic<\/a>, coaching greats such as\u00a0Georgios Bartzokas<\/a>,\u00a0Dimitris Itoudis<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Zeljko Obradovic<\/a>, and legends like\u00a0Theo Papaloukas<\/a>,\u00a0Nikola Vujcic<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mike Batiste<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n
