"Damian Lillard would pull up a three-pointer from half court. The next possession, Mario Hezonja would do the same. I'd tell him, 'Hezi, you can't do that...' He was always an incredible talent. But he didn't want to change himself or accept a smaller role on an NBA team." 🔴 Former Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic shared his perspective on why Mario Hezonja never fully lived up to his potential in the NBA. 📽️ X&O's Chat

![“Nikola Jokic is the best player we [Serbia] have ever had. As great of a player as he is, and he is fantastic, he is an even better person. We are living in the era of the greatest player we’ve ever had, and we need to do an even better job of promoting him as the greatest ambassador of Serbian basketball. He belongs in that category of players where there is simply no way to stop them. Luka Doncic, Victor Wembanyama and LeBron James are in that category. Those are players you simply cannot stop. You can try to slow them down, but at the end of the day, you have to pray to God that it’s not their night and that they miss some shots.” Darko Rajakovic, Toronto Raptors head coach, on Nikola Jokic 🤝🤝 🎥 Video credits: Kole Point (YT)](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2091963922480066832/amplify_video_thumb/2091962973677813761/img/2LxTN9EArSKZvTR5.jpg)

“Panathinaikos and Olympiacos rivalry? No, we can’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. We are two completely different clubs in terms of size, dynamics, ethics.... This story comes from football, where they unfortunately have more championships. But in basketball, there is no rivalry. They are only rivals to themselves.” Dimitris Giannakopoulos speaking about Olympiacos in the latest episode of the EURO INSIDERS podcast. 🍿#paobc #OlympiacosBC

"Whoever came to the team through trades had to adapt to our system. There was no stepping out of line... until Carmelo Anthony arrived." (laughs) 😅😅 "He was always late for everything. Terry Stotts was traumatized by players being late, but with Carmelo... if practice started at 10:00 AM, he'd show up at 10:45. He had that flexibility. We started joking: 'Where's Carmelo? Where's Carmelo?'" (laughs) 🤣 Jusuf Nurkic jokingly recalled what Carmelo Anthony's arrival to the Portland Trail Blazers looked like, joining a well-established system and a locker room culture that was perfectly led by Damian Lillard. 🏀

“Peace with the Angelopoulos brothers and Olympiacos? There is no will on the other side! When they throw a small stone at you, you pick up the rock and throw them back! Action and reaction! The reaction can never be at fault. I tried to humorize the situation: scarves with both Panathinaikos and Olympiacos logos and colors, a 1-on-1 game to raise money for charity. 'I am very sorry, but our teams and fans are not ready to support something like this.' I used to send champagne and flowers when their sons and daughters were born in the hospital. And I heard they were putting the plants out because they thought I had put a microphone in them! Once, when I sat down at the same table with them, one of them physically attacked me!" Dimitris Giannakopoulos on his relationship with Olympiacos and the Angelopoulos brothers. 😮#paobc #OlympiacosBC 🎥 Video credits: EURO INSIDERS

“There is one player who is my dream and whom I have not signed yet, I will sign him next season: the best player in the world, Nikola Jokic!” “Don’t laugh. Until I sign him, I’m not going anywhere. This year, I tried to make an offer, ask Misko Raznatovic. People will say I’m joking, but I made a very serious offer, both to his team and to him. I was rejected.” Dimitris Giannakopoulos is SERIOUS about bringing the Denver Nuggets superstar to Panathinaikos! 👀🤯🟢#paobc 🎥 Video credits: EURO INSIDERS

"Your are basically bringing the police while I'm trying to shoot and warm up in the a side gym. It's all about the jersey, because I never had a single issue when I play for another team."

"I was a coach at Partizan and I was very happy there. In November, it was a very difficult decision for me. To talk about Panathinaikos... Everybody in Europe knows what this club means. I will always respect every opponent. We need to focus on ourselves, but also show respect to other clubs, fans and everyone involved in the game." Zeljko Obradovic on difficult decisions, respect for opponents and the values he wants to bring to Panathinaikos. #paobc #kkp

"What was the result? 82–76? No, the game result was 29 free throws for Olympiacos, 5 for Panathinaikos. But you, Greek media, Serbian media, keep writing that Ergin Ataman is the worst coach in Europe, and that you have the best referees." Ataman did not hold back following Panathinaikos' defeat to Olympiacos, taking aim at the refereeing standards and the media coverage surrounding him. 😯 #paobc #OlympiacosBC
