Marcin really was cookin' dudes. Rebounding and swatting shots like a mad man. Sweet midrange J as well. A shame that he was playing then and not in today's game.

[@LoyalOpposition]

Thanks SO much! He's so "Americanized" saying the word 'like' superfluously.

[@CyroAsseo]

lololol

[@umang6771]

Nice job landing this interview! Gortat was such an underrated big.

[@CyroAsseo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wilseph1]

What an incredible interview with Mr. Gortat. Thank you!

[@alexsims3450]

This is amazing journalism... You are a star bro...

[@CyroAsseo]

im just a guy trying to share his love for the nba with others

[@Konata615]

Not to take anything away from a good interview but not knowing Sengun is a rough one. Like… he didn’t know him at all. Makes you wonder to what extent he’s even following basketball for the past few years

[@wilseph1]

The Jumpman tattoo will always be legendary.

[@CyroAsseo]

definitely!

[@wilseph1]

You could make 3 suits out of this material! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wilseph1]

Boxing out, squeezing your balls. We all thought of Reggie Evans.

HAHHA

[@BILLHICKSAFTERLIFE]

Just started this interview. Which owner is Gortat talking about?

[@CyroAsseo]

I believe Steve Ballmer. He started telling a story before i got the cameras setup so I just hit record. He loved Ballmer hated Sarver

[@BILLHICKSAFTERLIFE]

Thank you! @@CyroAsseo

[@gilbertarballo]

Stop shaking the cam!

[@CyroAsseo]

he was when he would hit the table sorry

[@Artislife1992]

Don’t speak on John Wall unless it positive man. This is weird. Why would you day anything negative about him and you know he aint in the league because of politics. This lame af. John Wall came back after two years of serious injuries with the Rockets an averaged 21 and 7. His game hasn’t shown that he can’t still play at a high level. 💯💯💯

[@CyroAsseo]

i dont think he said anything negative about John Wall. I am one of the biggest Wall fans, lived there when he got drafted in Baltimore back in 2010

[@Artislife1992]

@@CyroAsseo in DC ya mean. Didn’t Gortat speak on Wall being uncontrollable by coaches?

[@CyroAsseo]

He just said Randy was the only one who could control John, he didn't say he was uncontrollable. I interpret that meaning how to use John to his best abilities, but if you think that means he was uncontrollable then thats just how you intpreted it. I dont think there was any ill will in his statement. @@Artislife1992

[@Artislife1992]

@@CyroAsseo negative is negative period. If you know Wall isn’t in the league because of fake/bs politics don’t speak on his name unless its positivity. Ima long time Wiz fan an I know about how him and Wall use be at odds. So I get it. It’s bs. He should be sayin Wall belongs in the league. ‘They only disrespect Black Men. They only (try to) cancel Black Men.’ 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@CyroAsseo]

Dude he literally said he talks to John and is friends with him. I think you are manipulating his words and the conversation. It seems you have selective hearing but I can tell people what to hear, you can only choose what you want to hear. I grew up in Baltimore watching Wizards basketball so i don't understand what you are getting at and its kinda weird@@Artislife1992
