Matija Poscic LF Basket, Sweden

What team and league are you playing for now?I am currently playing for LF Basket, First Division in Sweden. Before going to Sweden, I have played for Slavonski Brod, Croatia. I signed a contract with LF Basket last week and I am very excited about this op-portunity. What countries have you played in?If you do not count playing four years in the States, I have only played in Croatia.

Where is your favorite place to play?This is a tough question. I really enjoyed playing in Allstate Arena. My favorite place to play is probably Madison Square Garden. When I was a little kid, I used to watch the New York Knicks play in the Garden, and for me to actually have a chance to play on the same court is very special. I consider myself lucky.

What is your biggest memory overseas?For me, overseas is United States, haha! I loved the city of Chicago and great people at DePaul University. They made me feel like home. Like I said before, coming to Chicago was one of the best things that happened to me.

What is your greatest memory as a Blue De-mon? I really enjoyed traveling with the guys across the county. My favorite trips were probably Las Vegas and Puerto Rico.

Did you have a chance to follow Blue Demon basketball this season? I was really busy these last few months traveling and playing in Croatia and now in Sweeden. I did not have a chance to

see them play, but I wish the all the best. They deserve it!
