KAE AEK Betsson announced the acquisition of Joshua Obiese. The Union signed a contract with the German ace until the end of the current season and he made his first statements as a player of the “yellow and black” stating that he is honored to play for the team and the Dragan Sakota.
In detail what he said:
“I know my name is a bit difficult. My name is Joshua Obiese, but you can call me… Yoshi, from the (video game) Super Mario.
Everything happened very quickly. I am overjoyed to be in Greece for AEK. A new opportunity has presented itself in my career and I want to give it my all to respond. I am happy to play basketball here, to help my new team and to get to know Athens
I have heard a lot about AEK. An old coach of mine has talked to me about many things concerning AEK. Of course, I am well aware myself that I have joined one of the most historic teams in Europe. I have also seen videos of her successes in BCL as well. I know what she has accomplished in general in her long history. As I have seen videos with the fans of the team. I am excited and optimistic about the sequel
I am honored to be coached by Coach Sakota. I had a phone call with him before I came, he told me that he is happy about the prospect of me wearing the AEK shirt, but also about the way I play and my talent. I wish I could do him justice.”
