Thanks Orlan for talking to eurobasket.com.You are playing your second season in Germany with the Noma Iserlohn Kangaroos. What have you learned to appreciate the most about the country Germany on and off the court?

The things about Germany I like a lot is how friendly and welcoming the city of Iserlohn was when I first arrived.

The Noma Iserlohn Kangaroos are playing a great season so far having a 15-3 record. Are you surprised the club has played so well considering it came from the Regionaliga?

Last year, we were told that Regionaligga West was the toughest out of the the Regionaligas and also that the level of competition is not very different in the Pro B and so I am not surprised by how well we are doing. We have worked hard for what we have so far and will continue working until May.

The club has only two import players and many young German players. What has been the secret of the success of the team?

The secret to our success is a secret… hahahaha if I told you then it wouldn’t be a secret any more.
