You gave up your player option worth $5.8 million (€5 million) to join Chicago. Many would have chosen the money, even if it meant staying on the bench next season. Why not you? Guerschon Yabusele: It’s love for basketball. Maybe this summer I’ll regret it. Who knows? But that’s how it is. I truly love competition. When you’ve experienced the highest level, when you’ve played games like the ones we had at the Olympics with France, it’s hard to sit on the bench watching others play. How are you approaching the end of the season in Chicago? With the desire to establish yourself there, or with the belief that you’ve shown enough to convince a team to bet on you this summer? Guerschon Yabusele: I hope I’ve done enough here, but I don’t know how the team thinks or what it’s really looking for.
I’d really like to come back this summer. I’m going to keep pushing for that, and I’d also like to sign for several years so I can breathe a bit.
