His confrontation Olympiakou with Partizan the legendary watched Tony Kukoc in “Stark Arena”.
The great Croatian veteran emphasized that the Nigel Williams-Goss was the great protagonist in the victory (74-69) of the “red and white”, while in a question about whether o Zeljko Obradovic could sit on an NBA team’s bench, stated that the “spoiled brats» NBAers of the current era they would not stand him!
“All the players were very willing to play well, but you can’t win all the time. I think Partizan was in control of the match, as they got away at +13, but then they made a lot of mistakes. With its tough defense, Olympiacos turned the tide. Then Partizan lost its rhythm“, the Croatian forward initially stated to “Sportklub” and added:
“In my opinion, Williams-Goss changed the match. He took everything on himself, made big shots and defined the game».
On whether Zeljko Obradovic can coach an NBA team: “He might be the best coach in the last 20 years. He knows basketball very well, since he was a guard in the national team. There is no doubt what a coach he is. Many players only wanted to play, he was interested in coaching as well. I have no doubt he could succeed in the NBA. Based on his basketball knowledge, he can definitely succeed. If you look at it from his communication side, I don’t know if the American players could…survive. But, that’s about them. Players are a bit spoiled today, that’s how I see it here. The more money they have, the less basketball they play».
