Although more than a decade has passed since then, Mr Andrei Kirilenko he cannot forget Istanbul.
In an interview he gave to Media of Serbia, the veteran NBAer said that he doesn’t watch enough Euroleague in recent years, but what has stuck with him the most from the event was his winning shot George Printezis in the 2012 final between Olympiacos and CSKA Moscow.
In fact, “AK-47” spoke in the best words about the Greek forward.
“I don’t watch enough EuroLeague anymore and I don’t have that much information. However, the most memorable moment was Giorgos Printezis’ shot in 2012 when he broke our… heart. So I wish him the best in the rest of his life now that he’s retired from active duty. He was an amazing player“, said “AK-47” on the website “mozzartsport”.
The Russian veteran then referred to Milos Teodosic: “His talent is special. One of the best playmakers I had as a teammate and it was a privilege for me. I like to play fast, pin and this game is ideal with Milos».
Finally, for the Paris Olympics tournament: “If not for LeBron and Durant, Serbia might have won, even if only Steph Curry played. LeBron found solutions to all problems and this proves that he is a great leader. The Americans always have talent, whatever the tournament, they are always the favourites, but we can all see that the rest of the world has closed in on them. That is, Markkanen plays in Finland, there are Jokic, Bogdanovic, Giannis… The superstars now come from Europe and this continues».
