NBA champion Mozgov explained why he chose the USA to live

NBA champion Timofey Mozgov explained why he has currently chosen Los Angeles to live rather than Moscow.

— It seemed that you had already left, your children are studying in America…

— The eldest goes to school, the youngest goes to kindergarten. Children must study. This doesn’t mean anything: before that we lived in Moscow for a long time.

I have such a career – I changed many teams. I lived in Cleveland, and my child went to first grade in Brooklyn, second grade in Orlando, and third grade here. Now I’m going to the sixth.

“Gone” is a concept that does not apply to my family. We lived there and lived here.

— Home is still Los Angeles?

— Home is when we are all together. While there. But here I also have a house, a car, and friends. There is no such thing that I come to Moscow and rediscover it…

— Why Los Angeles, just because of the climate?

– Yes, I love it. It’s not cold in winter, not stuffy in summer.

California generally has the best climate. This is the only place in the world where you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon,” Sports.ru quotes Mozgov.

Mozgov is 37 years old, the basketball player’s last club was Moscow “Runa”. He is a bronze medalist at the European Championship (2011) and the Olympic Games (2012) as part of the Russian national team. In 2016, he and the Cleveland Cavaliers became NBA champions.
