Kanan: “I gave everything to Olympiakos, it is not my decision whether to continue”

Isaiah Kanan spoke about the defeat of Olympiakos by Real Madrid, but also about his future.

The American guard of the “red and whites” emphasized that he has given everything to the team, while adding that it is not his decision as to whether he will continue in Piraeus.

His statements in detail:

For Yule’s shot: “It’s part of the sport, there’s always a winner, tonight it wasn’t us. It’s tough to lose like that. With a shot at the last second. People might say it was a lucky shot, but Yule has been hitting shots like this his entire career. He hits crazy shots like this. He had not scored until then. It ‘s crazy”.

On the decision to stay out of the Basket League: “It is not my decision whether I will continue in the team, I gave everything, I showed on the field what I am capable of doing, I believe in myself. I don’t care what other people say. The team believes in me and that’s enough. I don’t listen to those who criticize my game, they always have something negative to say. I’m not perfect, I go out and do what I can.”



For the presence of the world: “The fans did their part, they came here and supported us, as they do all year, I give them credit, it’s not their fault, we really appreciate them being here, we just couldn’t make them happy. At the end of the day, I feel blessed to have played here at the highest level. I’m fine to have played in such a high-level final, in front of this crowd and my family.”

For the continuation: “The team is going in the right direction, but there are still steps to be taken. We fought all year, but we lost in the last shot, it’s tough. I will continue the work, there are no more matches left for me this year, but I can make my teammates better.”

For the Euroleague system: “Maybe we could have playoffs instead of a Final Four, you wish you had one more chance when you play in those games. It’s not up to me, though. I give credit to my team, we fought all season.”
