THE Isaiah Canaan enjoys working with him George Bartzokas and his presence in Olympic. The American shooting guard aims to win the Euroleague with Piraeus.
“When I first came to Europe, I went to Russia. In every country you go to you must be open to learning new things and you must not make comparisons with your home country because it is something completely different“, he emphasized.
“It’s nice to work with coach Bartzokas. It allows you to be yourself through the team system and through rules. It pushes you to be the best version of yourself, no matter who you are or where you come from. He gives great importance to the concept of team. Most of our plays are not designed for single player. This takes some adjusting, because most players don’t come from that kind of background and you have to learn it“, he added.
“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else at this stage in my career. My ambition and goal is to have every possible opportunity to conquer the Euroleague. I got a taste last year and I want to go on and do everything I can to get back to that position. I want to show at every opportunity that this guy didn’t want to lose at all“, he continued.
Finally, he also spoke about his friendship with Gerian Grant, his rival in the derby with Panathinaikos. “I’m glad he’s here. Our friendship is strong because we were teammates on the Bulls“, he said.
