Maciej Lampe Predicts “Big Minutes” in NBA Return

MACIEJ WATCH - In a recent interview with HoopsHype’s Raúl Barrigón , former Knick "prospect" Maciej Lampe talked about his move to Russia during which he turned from teenager to man and stated that if an NBA team calls, he’ll want to return. The 23 year-old blamed his failed NBA stint on "some injuries" and a lack of luck.

Lampe didn’t hesitate to take a shot at the Knicks either, saying it was difficult to play in New York because the practice facility was too far from the arena, and admitting he "wasn’t around too much" (This is the same Lampe who was busted for eating popcorn during practice.). He’s happy where he is now, though:

"Here in Russia I’ve grown up as a player. I feel respected and everybody recognizes my game ."

You hear that, LeBron James? You’d better recognize. ML is coming back for round two and he wants some respect.
