Beryl McKissick emphasized in a TV interview that Mr Panathinaikos is not a difficult opponent for him Olympic .
The partner of the ace of Piraeus, Shakil, spoke about the team of Giorgos Bartzokas, while about the “greens”, she said “I don’t see Panathinaikos as a difficult opponent. Every year it’s the same. Especially this year when they are a new team, I don’t see them as a difficult opponent for us».
At the same time, he also talked about non-sporting issues and left open the possibility of taking part in the Survivor.
What he told Action24 in detail:
As for whether he really went to OAKA: “There has been a lot of backlash on this post, but I’m actually not allowed to go to OAKA for security reasons. I want to go, but I don’t know how this will end up if I did. I’m thinking about trying it next time because of the reactions from Panathinaikos fans, but I don’t know. We’ll see next time if I can go or not».
On her relationship with Olympiakos fans: “I can say they are family. As much as they love me, I love them as much. I am very happy to feel this way in a foreign country. Although my grandparents are from Thessaloniki, I really feel like I am at home. I really like it here and I don’t feel like I have to go to Turkey to feel at home. That means family to me».
For the comments he receives on social media: “I’m just laughing. When they comment, no matter what they comment on, it gets spread because people see it. I’m just saying thank you. I laugh watching them. I don’t feel certain. It’s OK I understand. Sometimes they say crazy things and I’m very close to responding. I’m going to text Shaq saying “is it okay if I say this?” And he’ll say “ok, keep it to yourself, we laugh about it together, you don’t need to post it”. I tell him “you can kill them”, if I may say so. I usually try not to talk to him too much before games. If something happens in the match, I don’t want him to tell me “you made me nervous” and the related stuff. I usually tell him “you know what he has to do, see you after the match”. Something like that».
On whether he prefers the dunk or the 3-pointer from McKissick: “Difficult question. Studs are special. When he jumps and I see him do the move and nail with fury, I love that moment. When he needs to and I see him on the perimeter and shoot for three, that’s just as cool for me. I don’t know if I can choose. The three-pointers are nice, but the studs are pissing me off».
On who is the most difficult opponent, apart from the games with Panathinaikos: “I will say one thing about what you said… I don’t see Panathinaikos as a difficult opponent. Every year it’s the same. Especially this year when it’s a new team, I don’t see them as a difficult opponent for us, that we can’t beat. With the other teams, maybe. But against us I don’t see them winning. I hope it stays that way. First they have to become a team and then hit the matches against Olympiakos. We are family. We’ve been together for a long time. There are new players, but not as many as in Panathinaikos. That was my little fix. Apart from Panathinaikos, I would of course say Real Madrid, if you think about what happened last season in the Final Four. Especially a person I no longer like. Only that».
About the tattoo he has said he will get if Olympiacos wins the Euroleague: “Yes, it is true, I have found an amazing artist and I will definitely make one. Maybe the logo or team name somewhere. I will if we win the Euroleague this year, yes, 100%».
On whether she would go on Survivor: “I grew up as a tomboy, I used to jump off the tables and when I see it I say “why not”. Of course I want to go to Greek. Maybe, we’ll see. I have to learn the language. If I don’t learn it, it will be difficult for me».
