They played the best basketball and I give them all the credits. We all have to play above our limits to beat them, not just the centers.”

For Olympiakos fans, who will be over 4,000: “I didn’t expect such a big number. I want to say a big thank you to our fans for their support throughout the season, for showing how much they believe in us after getting tickets to the Final Four well in advance. I’m thankful. I hope that this year we will make them more proud than last year.”

In the past we have seen many games decided by the last shot. You need luck, you need good preparation and concentration to become a champion.”
