Wilbekin: “I spoke in Rhodes with Ataman – He said inaccuracies, we agreed that we disagree”!

Regarding the recent meeting he had at the Rhodes tournament with the coach of Panathinaikos, Ergin Atamanspoke o Scotty Wilbekin. With Shane Larkinwe remind you, they were very busy this summer in Turkey, as they did not compete in the Istanbul pre-Olympic tournament.

The two Americans, who compete as naturalize in the Turkish national team (not at the same time, as each country has the right to use one naturalized player per competition), they were punished by the federation for their absence with a penalty of 5 games in the domestic competitions, while they were also a fine of 90,000 Turkish liras.

Wilbekin, therefore, spoke in Turkish “S Sport” about what happened and referred to what he told him in the recent tete-a-tete, which was in Rhodes.

“Things did not turn out the way the Turkish federation presented them. I was in contact with the people of the national team. I talked to whoever tried to reach me, I hadn’t disappeared.

I spoke in Rhodes with Ataman about what he said about me. They were inaccuracies. I wanted to solve the problem with him face to face. I don’t like it when someone talks about my character in public. In the end, we agreed to disagree. If I am healthy and they call me up, I want to play again for the Turkish National TeamWilbekin pointed out.
