Drama On and Off the Court: Chima Moneke, Red Star’s New Forward, Spills the Tea on His Move to Belgrade!
Ready for some basketball chaos? Chima Moneke, former Baskonia player, is now the center of attention as Red Star’s new forward, and his story is explosive! He openly talked about why he chose Red Star over Partizan and didn’t hold back on calling out coach Ivan Ivanović, revealing what really went down on the court.
Why Red Star? Moneke says Red Star was the most consistent in chasing his signature and showed him how much they wanted him. Despite having great moments against Red Star, Baskonia’s coach benched him, which infuriated Chima so much that he even threw the ball in the air and said, “Let’s go home!” Yes, you read that right — a full-on on-court rebellion!
Partizan? No Offer! While Partizan fans might have expected differently, Moneke claims he never got an offer from Partizan. Fans in Belgrade went crazy for him, but he decided to go where he was truly wanted — Red Star.
Earning more than at Baskonia, but less than expected in his next contract. Chima is ready to give his all for Red Star and promises fans the best version of himself. To Partizan fans, he sends a message: “You got Jabari Parker, and you didn’t even ask for me. You should be happy about that!”
Coach’s Support and Atmosphere Before joining, coach Janis Sferopulos told him to be himself and have a vision for how the team should play. Moneke is ready for the challenge and believes not everyone can handle playing in such an environment.
Fans and Atmosphere Red Star fans welcomed him like a hero, and he’s already popular in Serbia. His reactions on and off the court sparked a wave of comments and divided opinions. Some adore him, others criticize, but one thing’s clear — Chima Moneke is the hottest topic in Serbian basketball!
Conclusion Chima Moneke’s arrival at Red Star isn’t just a sports story; it’s a drama full of emotions, conflicts, and fan frenzy. Will he meet expectations and bring new victories to Red Star? Or will his rebellious streak become a problem? Only time will tell.
