We aren’t scared of anybody: Randall II

Adelaide 36ers star Craig Randall II has said he and his teammates ‘aren’t scared of anybody’ following the history making victory over the Phoenix Suns.

Speaking with TMZ Sports, Randall II said he and his teammates kept focused on the task and prepared for any expected comeback from the NBA side.

“I think the most satisfying thing was that we stayed in the moment,” he said.

“All NBA teams are going to make runs, and that’s all we kept saying, and we’ve got to stick together.

“The moment was crazy, it was what we’ve been working for.

“It’s a great feeling, but we’ve got a game on Thursday and we’re going to try and take care of business there too.”

The 36ers will take on Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday (ACST) and Randall II is focused on the next challenge.

“I’m going to keep saying it, the Adelaide 36ers are not scared of anybody, we’re going to suit up every night, give the same energy, come with the same attitude, we all lace the shoe up in the same way, it’s all about putting the ball in the basket,” he said.

“We knew that they were going to come out, they had their starters, they had their full team, we were the better team last night.”

Randall II scored a game-high 35 points, including 52.9 per cent from three in the win, and said while the NBA would be a dream, he’s focused on the Thunder clash.

“The NBA is always the ultimate goal, it’s always what kids dream of,” he said.

“Obviously at some point it’s going to be an option for some of us, and we’d be fools if we said it wouldn’t be something we would consider.

“It’s a great experience, it’s humbling, it’s a blessing to be in the position we’re in.

“I’m not really worried about it, I’ve got a game against OKC on Thursday, and the NBA stuff can take care of itself.”
