On Milutinov’s appearance: “Olympiacos has the best tall offensive rebounder in the history of the game and it showed tonight. Had a 20+20 game. That’s something most teams don’t have the ability to do, except maybe Real Madrid.”.
For him: “It’s another year that I’m one of the top guards in the league. It’s been four straight years of doing this, and I just keep going. My game is developing and I am the leader of the team. I’m just being consistent as one of the best players in the league.”
For Maccabi’s progress: “We have less resources, because of the situation in Israel, than any other team and we’re 12-10. We are over 50% and competing for the EuroLeague playoffs. What should we be upset about?’
About life in Belgrade: “Life in Belgrade is good. It’s a strange situation we’re in and we have to play all our games there. We don’t have the support of our fans, but there is the Israeli league for that. We’re playing at a big disadvantage, but we’ve found a way to win games and be competitive. Maccabi fans show us full support. Sometimes it’s more stressful to play there, even in Greek teams”.
