Evan Fournier ‘hungry’ for gold medal in 2022 EuroBasket

Evan Fournier is looking forward to the 2022 EuroBasket and has his sights set on helping France win the gold medal.

In an interview with FIBA, the guard of the New York Knicks opened up about his goal with the national team.

“I am so hungry for this, like so hungry. That’s one of the goals I have in my career and I want to bring so many gold medals and titles back home, you can’t even imagine.

When you play for your country, you compete at your best level and you want to bring joy to the fans and to your team.

Last summer was very nice to win a silver medal, but I also think about the joy that it would be to win a title and to get the gold medal.

It’s the ‘summum’, the cherry on top of the cake. I am 29 years old, and I want to experience this multiple times before the end of my career. That’s also why I come every summer to play for the national team,” Evan Fournier said.
