Although he competes in the NBA with the Bulls, o Nikola Vucevic closely follows the Euroleague. The Montenegrin center talked about tonight’s derby “forever” and as a friend of Red Star he did not hide his preference.
“Obviously I will be with Olympiakos, if you understand me. I must do that. But yeah, it will be a good game. You know, in games like this, no matter who the favorite is, you never know who’s going to win“, emphasized the 33-year-old ace.
However, he also has Panathinaikos in his estimation. “He’s been playing really well, especially since adding Kendrick Nunn. He’s playing really well for them, so I think they have a chance. They also have a squad with some depth. They could play very well, and Ataman has won the Euroleague before, so he knows what it takes».
As for which teams he sees in Berlin? “Obviously, Real Madrid have been playing great all year. I see them there. I think Fenerbahce can get in there. They played well. Barcelona have a good team. They’ve been up and down, but I think they have a chance. And number four, maybe Monaco. They play quite well. Monaco, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, Virtus Bologna, they are playing well».
Finally, he also mentioned the Red Star. “Unfortunately, it was not a good season for us. It was a little harsh, but, you know, it is what it is. But yeah, it was a good season. There are a lot of good teams, a lot of teams that can compete for the Final Four and that’s another reason I watch so many games».
