Hey Skweek Squad ! Lucie here, I’m at the One Ball center with Michael Kessens from Paris Basketball. How are you Michael? – I’m good, how are you guys doing? I’m good I’m ready We’re about to get on the bike just behind us
And we’re going to chat a little bit and work-out, so let’s go ! You might not know but I’m also a spinning instructor so that’s why I chose to have this little chat on the bike. I hope you are going to like it – that makes sense, yeah we’ll see
– I’m sure you love the bike No I hate the bike It’s the most painful thing and when you’re injured you have to be on the bike a lot So I don’t enjoy it I do it because it’s part of the job and it sometimes helps
But I… – I chose the perfect work-out then Yeah it’s perfect it couldn’t have gone any better Did you choose basket ball as your first sport or did you try other sports ? I tried a bunch of sports when I was younger Soccer was the main one
Then I switched to basket ball when I was 16 and never looked back – It’s pretty late actually, 16 years old.. The good thing for me was that I never played basket ball and so… I was a littler older than most guys when they started so I had no bad habits
I just didn’t know anything and I kind of learned the right way, let’s put it that way – that’s true, that’s a great point of view let’s add a little bit of resistance How is living in Paris ? For me speaking the language made it easier it’s definetly fun
And I’m still discovering the city bit by bit when I have time and I think that’s what I enjoy the most so you like going around and discover buildings and touristic areas as well? – yes – What would you pick from France
And bring it to germany where you spent many years as well? Yes, pastries from Boulangeries.. So I think it’s time for the challenge I’m going to ask you a few questions We got five in total so it’s going to be pretty easy
If you get the answer right you get to remove resistance if you get it wrong we are going to add some Who is the tallest guy on your team? – It’s Leon Kratzer. – Yes !
– I can take it out ? – Yes, you can keep riding and take a little bit out. How many years did you stay in Cholet? – 4. Yes om my god… You’re going to have everything right ! Yeah I know my life pretty well !
The next one is a little bit tougher… How do you spell Cholet ? C, h, o, l, e, t. Yes that wasn’t tough… Next one, can you name all the german teams you played with? Yes! Eisbären Bremerhaven, Rasta Vechta, Francfort Skyliners, Telekom Baskets, Bonn.
– Yes, asy memories, right? – Yes. Last question, about Paris… What’s the name of the river in Paris? La Seine ! – Yes, it’s so easy ! Ok Michael let’s take the resistance to zero Calm down…Slow down… And we made it! – There you go, thank you!
Cograts ! Michael thank you so much for doing this It was an absolute pleasure to sweat on the bike with you! It was, it was… I broke a sweat so… All good He didn’t lie ! So we just did it, Michael how do you feel?
– I’m good ! It wasn’t easy but I’m good We’re still sweaty, we actually worked-out. and we had a nice discussion about Paris Basket Ball and your life Michael It was a pleasure having you. We’ll see you next on the court. – See you next on the court, bye !
