"For me, playing here is a great chance. I know the history of the club, which has won many titles in the past, the fans are absolutely awesome. I am happy for being a member of that family. What I remember more clearly is the supporters of Panathinaikos, it is exciting to play in front of such crowd ven as an opponent.
I remember when we had to win there in order to qualify with CSKA Moscow and it was not easy at all. As I said before, I am very happy for being here and can't wait for the matches to begin. Euroleague's Final Four is always our great target, there are many excellent players in the current squad and I will give my best in order to be successful.
I wish I had the chance to play along Dimitris Diamantidis, but it will also be nice honoring him next weekend. He did so many things for his motherland and the club, it will be great to play for him, against my former team. It is an excellent chance for all of us to spend some time together", said the 32-year-old former player of CSKA Moscow.
