by

The novelty of holding his Final 4 Basketball Champions League on the glass floor won the laudatory comments of the protagonists. The glass floor installed in the Belgrade arena provided an impressive visual effect as well as a special feeling to the players who loved it.

Marcelinho Huertas (Tenerife)

“It’s a unique feeling, something different. It’s definitely something good, especially for the fans and the spectators.”

Kyle Guy (Tenerife)

“It was a special experience to be able to play on a different court and in such an important environment as the Final Four.”

Sasso Salin (Tenerife)

“It felt like I was in a normal stadium, there’s no difference, except that for the fan it can definitely be a lot more interesting.”

Joan Sastre (Tenerife)

“Honestly, I didn’t notice, there is no difference in touch or grip. When the game starts, you focus on other things, you have too many thoughts on your mind to worry about. But it looks really cool, for the people, the fans, it’s something very special. As players, when it comes to the field, you don’t notice anything different.”

Chus Vidoretta (Tenerife)

“They have explained to us the virtues of the stadium and it offers many entertainment possibilities to the fans, but I am very positive, I like new things, this is not the future, it is the present.”

Alberto Dias (Unicaja)

“The truth is that it looks really good, the grip is the same as that of a traditional pitch, when you jump and run as well. And for the fans it will be something nice and I think they enjoyed it”.

Yakub Sima (Unikaha)

“I haven’t noticed any difference from a traditional pitch in terms of grip, when you start playing you forget everything and focus on the game, although obviously for the fans it’s impressive.”

Kendrick Perry (Unicaha)

“This experience was great, this LED stadium is huge. I think the Basketball Champions League has done a great job betting on innovation and putting itself at the forefront. It might take some adjusting, but it sure feels great to be a part of something like this. For the fans who have come here, it’s really innovative to see it live, it’s something different, and for those watching it on TV. I think we are at the beginning of something very special.”

Dylan Osetkowski (Unicaja)

“Having this LED stadium is a great step forward in terms of innovation and technology… Also for the fans in the stands and at home, it’s a huge experience with this futuristic atmosphere. I like the hardwood floor, but being able to get rid of the advertising stickers is very important and the LED court allows you to do that. I believe it is a very important step for the development of basketball”.

Nemanja Radovic (Murcia)

“The court looks amazing and it’s definitely a new experience… When I was playing the NBA2K video game, I often played on such a colorful surface like this… so it feels familiar. It’s great At first, it felt weird, but it’s really cool when you play”.

Yona Radebaugh (Murcia)

“I think this stadium is very nice and it’s sure to keep getting better. I think for special events like a Final Four, it’s very good, it’s very nice, it’s very innovative. It’s a great thing for the fans.”

Dylan Ennis (Murcia)

“I loved the ASB GlassFloor, I thought it would be different, the grip and everything, but I loved it. It was perfect, you don’t even know it’s glass. I’d love to see it used more. And for the fans, it’s awesome ”

Leonidas Kaselakis, (Peristeri)

“The truth is I’m impressed with this pitch, I certainly didn’t expect to like it so much and it’s a privilege to be the first to play on this surface in an event like this.”

Trevor Thompson (Pigeon)

“It’s innovative and unique. I personally prefer the wooden floor, but overall the experience was great I can say. Everything was lit up and I can say it was very cool. The floor wasn’t bad at all”

Kenny Williams (Pigeon)

“I don’t have anything bad to say about the floor. It’s very good. It’s no different to a regular floor, but it’s different for people when they see it from above from what I’ve heard. I personally didn’t feel anything different.”

Nemanja Dangubic (Pigeon)

“It’s very interesting. Very different. The players need some time to adapt and feel the new floor. But it’s true that it gives a completely different dimension to the pitch and when you see it, it’s a very beautiful experience. It’s great for the world too and that’s good because we have to attract even more people. So, while we were a little skeptical at the beginning, all we had in mind was to play and we didn’t think about anything else. I don’t know if that can be done all season but with the first experience I have only good things to say”
