Naz Mitrou-Long: “It’s a dream come true to play Greece with my brother”

He characterized the fact that he is now playing in Greece with his brother Elaiza as a dream that finally came true, Naz Mitrou-Long said in his statements.

His statements to “Basketnews” in detail:

For Elaiza:

“It’s worth a lifetime. I always knew Eliza would be great and live up to his potential. He is such a great player. But to do it here, in the same stadium, with Greeks is amazing.

It’s a dream come true. My mother worked so hard to make it. I know she’s very upset that she can’t be here right now. But he will be in Greece for our game next March

About his passage from Zalgiris:

“Honestly, I put a lot of responsibility on myself. Maksvitis has been great for this club. Unfortunately, it is no longer there. But these guys are playing great and unselfish basketball. The first person I look at is myself. I had to shoot and become a better player, I think I have that opportunity here with Olympiakos

I know I love this game and it’s pretty much everything in my life except my girlfriend and my family. I always bet on myself and when opportunities come, like when Williams-Goss hit, I have to replace and make sure I’m alert and focused.”

On his tenure at Armani:

“Coach Messina taught me a lot. Just because we didn’t reach our potential, it made me a better player and person. He prepared me for the Euroleague. I think knowing the small window of margin of error is something to watch out for. I learned that in Milan and I’ve taken it with me now.”
