Ulsan Hyundai Mobis' flagship foreign player Gage Prim expressed a positive stance on the issue of naturalizing to Korea and joining the national team.
Prim became the top contributor to winning 63-61 with 21 points and 11 rebounds in the home game against Seoul Samsung in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Dongcheon Gymnasium in Ulsan on the 11th.
Prim, who attended the post-game conference as a trainee, gave a calm and honest answer when asked about the issue of naturalized players that has been circulating in the basketball world recently.
First of all, when asked what to do when a naturalized player's offer comes, Prim said, `I didn't think such an offer would come yet. I have to think about it in the future, but the positive side is great."
Regarding the reason for taking it positively, he replied, "'It is an opportunity given to only one naturalized player, and it is attractive that he represents a country.'"
Prim said he had thought about the issue before. There have been talks about it several times around, and Ra Gun-ah also talked about it to herself.
Prim says "I am attracted to Korean culture and to Koreans of good character. I hope that I can be a member of the Korean national team and go home to the U.S," he added.
But Prim says "Now is not the time to focus on this. It's important to finish the rest of the season well,' he said, also wary of an expanded interpretation.
