With the U23 World Championships 2021 set to tip off in Phuket, Thailand on the 7th September, James and Mark decided it was about time they were joined by someone who could make them feel old.
With Spain projecting to be the favourites to bring the gold back from Thailand, we are pleased to be joined by Pincho Ortega. Pincho talks about his years growing and developing in two outstanding basketball situations of CD Ilunion and University of Alabama, as well as how a 7th-place finish in the 2017 Junior European Championships lit the fire under his country’s current crop of young talent.
Pincho previews a world tournament that is full of unknowns and potentially dangerous teams that may be underestimated following some junior tournaments that were tarnished by COVID-19.
Pincho also takes questions from our listeners, hands out the Bench Units Belt, and continues to remind us of the importance of being able to adapt.
