He broke all the… counters in Olympiacos’ victory over Bayern Munich in , but after the end of the match he bowed to Kendrick Nan of Panathinaikos, in the “fight” for the MVP of the season in the event. Having “threat” even the best appearance in the history of Euroleague, Sasha Vezenkov was asked whether he was upset that George Bartzokas dropped him early from Olympiacos – Bayern Munich, and spoke more generally about this year’s Euroleague. CORVERSE Vezenkov’s statements about whether he was angry that he retired at the end of the match: “ My teammates were more angry than I was. I understand the coach in a 40-point game, I understand the trainer and everyone. They’re afraid of one bad moment. On the other hand, you can never relive such moments, be so close (p. in the record of points in Euroleague history). I didn’t say ‘leave me’ or anything because now you know, social media will say ‘because, how, what’. It is a “if”, a “if, what would happen”. A what if the Americans say, but we have more beautiful things to discuss than “if what would happen”. Who he would vote for MVP: “I would vote for Nan. If you asked me about round one, I’d choose Shorts. I saw they lost today. It’s what I said. MVP must also help his team win matches. There are a lot of good players but you can’t get out MVP if the team isn’t high. Just enjoy what you see. And I’m saying that for both teams and for the whole Euroleague. There are many good players. There is no “he is better” and “he is more complete”. Enjoy the players you see. And I’m not talking about myself, I’m talking about the whole Euroleague. It is very easy for social media to go out and reduce each other. No, there’s no such thing. Enjoy what you see. It’s nice.”
