Dorsey: “Panathinaikos AKTOR is building something good – Ataman is doing a good job”

Tyler Dorsey gave credit to Ergin Ataman for the work he is doing at Panathinaikos AKTOR. The Greek-American ace spoke to Amerikanos24tv and mentioned the presence of the shamrock this year in the Euroleague.

“Panathinaikos AKTOR is building something good, everyone can see that” said Dorsey while also weaving the atmosphere created in the closed OAKA by the fans of the shamrock.

On the transfer of Slukas to Panathinaikos AKTOR:



“I thought… Crazy! It ‘s crazy. It was a bit unexpected but we are professionals. You have to remember that basketball for us lasts 10-15 years. We have to support ourselves financially sometimes and that’s what he did. I don’t think any player would say no to that money. We all want to find a home and love but sometimes that ends. But yeah it’s crazy. He’s injured but he’s a big asset and he’s playing well this season.”

For Panathinaikos:



“Panathinaikos is building something good. Everyone can see it. We must give respect where it is due. They are playing very well this year. They are very good at home. It’s nice to see that atmosphere.”

About Ataman and whether he stands out in Panathinaikos AKTOR:



“Ataman is a guard coach. It has the same system as it had in Ephesus. It leaves the guards free. We see that with Kendrick Nunn thriving through his system. It has a very good system and I have noticed it all these years because we were rivals last year as well. You have to give him his respect. People were saying one thing and another. He is doing a good job so far at Panathinaikos.”
