Lemar: I can’t wait to meet all the fans and everyone in Ljubljana

In the 2024/25 season, Brynton Lemar will wore the jersey of Cedevita Olimpija, and also compete in the BKT EuroCup and AdmiralBet ABA League for the first time in his career.

To someone, who might not follow basketball every single day, Brynton Lemar might not be the name, that is familiar, but Brynton has been around European basketball ever since 2017. Nonetheless, every fan would like to know, what can we expect from him in the upcoming season.

“Personally, you can expect me to play hard every single game, and to be a true competitor. I’m excited to get on the floor, meet everybody, meet the coach, and get to work. You can expect me to play at the high level and to compete, give it my all every night, offensively and defensively, and to be aggressive, that’s what I expect from myself.”

As he’s been in Europe for a long time, it is the right question to ask, how much does he know about Cedevita Olimpija, Ljubljana and Slovenia.

“I’ve heard about Cedevita Olimpija in the past, about the historic organization, and how strong it was in the past as well. I’m excited to be a part of it, and trying to revavilazie it, and get it back to being one of the most competitive teams in Europe. To be honest, I don’t know much about Ljubljana. But I’ve been doing research, asking around. I’ve seen it’s a beautiful city, and near next to a lot of other amazing places in Slovenia. I know Luka Dončić is from Slovenia, and I’m a big fan of his. I’m excited to learn more about Ljubljana, and merge more in the culture.”

It will be Brynton’s first season, competing in the EuroCup and ABA League.

“I expect high level competition. I’ve played against a lot of different high-level teams in a lot of different countries, so I’ve seen a lot of different ways that teams work. I’ve also been in a lot of big games. I’m excited to join the EuroCup, give it my all, show what I can do, and compete at the highest level in whatever competition I’m at. I’m excited. I know it’s going to be a great season.

Any special message for the fans of Cedevita Olimpija?

“I can’t wait to meet all the fans, everyone in Ljubljana. I’m excited to be here, give it my all and compete every night. We need all the support we can get, especially during the season. There are ups and downs through every season, and I hope, that the fans will support us through it all, and that we can give fans what they want, which is a winning team, competitive team, that’s hungry every night. I’ll do my best on my part to help win this organization a lot of games.”
