“Even though Jarell put up strong numbers, we still only got to see a small sample of what he can do in this league – coming in late, dealing with injuries, adjusting to the physicality – we expect him to have a big year” Pongrass said.

“Jarell continues to be a key component of our roster, and Coach Buford is excited to have such a dynamic offensive threat to play through. He is one of the leaders of this team and having another player return highlights the continuity that will flow with this group heading into next season”.

Vassilis Spanoulis announced his retirement at 38.

The Greek legend wrote a post on Instagram announcing his decision.

“A while ago I told the presidents that it was time to close the biggest chapter of my life and I thanked them for what we have achieved together.
It was a difficult decision but it was not sad.
Basketball gave me a unique journey full of intense moments and great emotions. He gave me everything and I gave him everything.
Olympiacos proved to be my destiny and my most beautiful port. I leave proud of what was greatly conquered but also of what was lost after a hard battle. Above all, I leave full, because I lived longer than I dreamed.
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone who has been by my side all these years, the presidents, the coaches, the teammates, the teammates and the opponents, but above all I want to thank all the fans for their love. It was this love that gave me the strength to try harder every day and this love will be my guide forever.
THANK YOU ALL THROUGH MY HEART. VASILIS SPANOULIS, A CHILD WHO DREAMED TO PLAY BASKETBALL”

Olimpia Milano, Vlado Micov part ways

Olimpia Milano expresses all its gratitude and thankfulness to Vlado Micov for four exceptional seasons spent together. During this period, he helped the team win one Italian championship, three Supercups, one Italian Cup and to clinch a berth to the EuroLeague Final Four for the first time in 29 years. Three times, Vlado Micov has made the walk-off winning field goal for Olimpia and is leading the club’s scoring list in the EuroLeague, second only to Bob McAdoo if the old competition is included. His place in the club history is secure, but beyond the wins, the records and high-level basketball quality, Vlado Micov has been, daily, on and off the court, a role model for his seriousness, effort and professionalism, whose example will stay as a Olimpia treasure. While our paths are diverging, on behalf of all the red and white people, we wish all the best to Vlado and his family.
