Burgos, Kravic: “Playing for the BCL trophy definitely attracted me”

Yesterday night, Dejan Kravic became the second player in the history of the Basketball Champions League to win the trophy twice, joining his former teammate in Virtus Bologna, Kevin Punter.

Here are his quotes following the game:

"Obviously AEK is a great team. They had an amazing tournament so far. They have so many weapons. Our job was to limit them and avoid that they had freedom and took open shots. Early on they had a 10-point lead, but we didn’t get too low on ourselves, we got the lead back and we stayed strong until the end.

It’s very easy to play for this team. 1 to 12 we got so many good players. It’s great to be here and everything is easy because of the depth that we have. All players are very welcoming, unselfish guys.

When I saw that in Burgos I would have had the chance to play for the BCL trophy, that definitely attracted me. The goal when we came to Athens was to win it all, and I’m glad we achieved that.

I can’t wait to celebrate in front of fans, I can’t wait for them to come back. Haven’t played in front of the Burgos fans yet, but I know they are amazing ad they’re always supporting you no matter winning or losing."
