The sign Jonas is holding, says " Let's go 'Seibutis' " or i'd say more like "Go kick their asses 'Seibutis' " It's not easy to translate, but "Go kick their asses" should be best translation of the word "Pavaryk". Seibutis is the name of his teammate. This all thing started when another player in a radio, before important game said that phrase "Seibuti pavaryk" (meaning "Seibutis, go kick their asses"). And radio caught this phrase, made it famous like "i'll be back" by Arnold or whatever.
In Toronto case translation would be like "
GO DeMar"
Fans are holding that sign in most of Lietuvos rytas games now. The most fun thing was in last VTB game, when some dude dressed like referee came into the court during the break and was showing that sign (you can find video in JV thread posted by Random guy i think).
So JV was making parody of that movement. He is really playing for fun and for crew ;)
See
video bellow of All star game for interview and some highlights,
there is translation:
Girl (i'd hit her...): Here is Jonas Valanciunas, MVP of last year year All star game, how do you feel repeating the fame this year?
JV: You know, i feel very well. It is not the prize (MVP) or anything. The most important for me was to make this event interesting to people. All star day is not serious day, you need to make something nice and fun for people to enjoy. I was trying to do that, i might have "failed" at most, but i've tried.
Girl: Who will you remember most out of this weekend?
JV: Seibutis, i think. (his teammate, he is joking again here).
Girl: How is your too short referre pants, and referee work ?
JV: Sleepers was too small (he was in sleepers while doing referee job), despite of that it was all fine.
Girl: About the game. Were you preparing for the game some combinations or was it all pure improvisation?
JV: Improvisation. We had no basketball related training for this game really.
Girl: And the last question. You were the most fun player on the court today. What emotions did it bring to you?
JV: Emotions are high, i'm in a really good mood. the most important is... i like the day very much i'm happy.
later, he was receiving MVP award.
Dude: i've heard you have some experience in folk dancing?
JV:Yes, i do.
Dude: Aiste (girls name), come here. I was curious my whole life, how do you (JV) dance? Lets try Lithuanian national folk dance by Ice Ice baby. I will keep that prize if you don't mind. Music!
...
the end of the dance
Dude: Beautiful. Thanks, Aiste, don't enjoy it too much, thank you ;) Wonderfull dance! DO YOU FEEL THE SAME ? (arena makes the sound)

P.S. Too bad there is not much video of his dribbling around the court, where he just passed out instead of finishing. Nice movement.
another video including the same as before mostly, but shot out of the bounds and american basketball movement at the end ;)
