Cenk Akyol retires at 33: When I enjoyed basketball the most was during Avellino times

The Turkish forward leaves basketball

Cenk Akyol announced his retire at 33.
The Turkish International has played with Sigortam.net last season.

Akyol talked to Basketfaul about his career.

“If I had the chance to go back, I would not go back to Efes and stay in Avellino. I had very good times both in club teams and in the national team in Turkey. However, when I enjoyed basketball the most, it was during Avellino times. They valued me so well that after my hand was broken and after 4 weeks away from the court, they showed their confidence in the first game and started me in the starting five. Avellino was a middle-ranked team in Italy, Efes is one of the best in Europe, but as an individual, I was very happy with my role in Avellino. Cesare Pancotto, my coach in Avellino, also has a different place for me. I saw his huge help in my best season.”
