Raja: “I’d rather see an Olympiacos-Panathinaikos game than an NBA game”

It can NBA to be the most popular basketball event, but the Dino Raja continues to… prefer Europe.

The Croatian “legend”, who wore his jersey Panathinaikou ACTORof Olympiakou but he also competed in the NBA with them Celticshe emphasized that he would be more pleased to see a Greek derby “of the ages”, in relation to a match of the American league.

At the same time, when asked about her favourites Euroleagueput in them and him Panathinaikos ACTOR.

What Dino Raja said in detail:

For which games he prefers to watch: “I prefer to see an Olympiacos – Panathinaikos or a Barcelona – Real, than an NBA game. These matches are more interesting, we see more defense. It seems to me that it is more serious to watch the EuroLeague.

In the NBA they don’t play defense anymore, there are too many points, 150 point games for each team. They are more All-Star games and not so much championship games. In the playoffs it is somewhat better, but I prefer to watch the EuroLeague.”

For the strongest teams in this year’s EuroLeague: “Panathinaikos has a good team and a good coach, Monaco also has a very good team, as does Fenerbahce. Barcelona are also a big team and anything can happen in the end.”

On whether there will be a team as strong as the Jugoplastica he used to play for: “Times change and new groups appear. For example, now we have Real who have been playing very well lately, who have had a very good decade and can win the EuroLeague again.”

For your favorite NBAers: “Doncic and Jokic think two steps ahead of the rest. They don’t have the physique of Americans, but they have a mind that thinks differently. They changed the game and I really enjoy watching them.”
