Estonia's Tartu Rock have been one of the real surprise stories this year in European basketball and their explosive playmaker George Tsintsadze is a big reason why.

Tsintsadze's play has arguably been the difference for a team that will play in the EuroCup Final Four this weekend in Limassol.

He was very good in the Baltic League as well.

Do you want to know what happened at the Baltic League All Star Game that still has Tsintsadze laughing?

You're about to find out because FIBA Europe spent `24 Seconds With George Tsintsadze' in Limassol during a stress-free EuroCup All Star Event.

FIBA Europe: George, it's good to see you relaxing by the pool ahead off the game. We would like to learn a little bit more about you. What kind of car do you drive?

George Tsintsadze: A Nissan. It's a small car, I don't really like it but the team gave me this car, so ...

FIBA Europe: Since you have had such a great season, we're sure you are going to be offered a new, fat contract and then you will be able to afford the car you want. What would that be?

George Tsintsadze: I hope your words are true (laughing). My dream is to buy a Porsche Cayenne.

FIBA Europe: What's the first thing you think about when you get up in the morning.

George Tsintsadze: Well, I guess it's to go and clean my teeth but it's really hard for me to wake up.

FIBA Europe: What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you on the basketball court?

George Tsintsadze: (Laughing) I missed a dunk at the Baltic League All-Star Game. Everything was great. I jumped great but the ball went off the rim. I got some good pictures of this.

FIBA Europe: What is the best movie you have watched lately?

George Tsintsadze: Best of all time is Scarface, best lately is Jumper. I like this kind of movie.

FIBA Europe: Your homeland, the country of Georgia, is known for having great food. What is your favourite dish?

George Tsintsadze: Khinkali (strongly peppered mutton dumplings).

FIBA Europe: If you weren't playing basketball for a living, what would you do.

George Tsintsadze: I'd be playing football.
