Vasilije Micic<\/a>\u00a0of Anadolu Efes Istanbul steps into the spotlight for the first episode of the “Remember The Why”, a Euroleague Basketball and Adidas collaboration in which Turkish Airlines EuroLeague stars discuss their personal journeys.<\/p>\n

The two-time EuroLeague champion and Final Four MVP was interviewed about the key moments of his career that propelled his path to stardom and the lessons he learned along the way.<\/p>\n

Micic emphasized that some of his biggest decisions didn’t seem logical to others: leaving the EuroLeague to sign for Tofas Bursa at age 22 in a quest to fulfil his potential; moving to Zalgiris Kaunas the next season with a backup role under coach Sarunas Jasikevicius; and, most successfully, joining an Efes team that had ranked dead last in the EuroLeague before he signed in the summer of 2018.<\/p>\n

“It is definitely the best satisfaction so far in my career,” Micic says. “At that moment, I felt that my experience with Zalgiris and Coach Saras was more than enough that I felt that I wanted to prove that somewhere. I wanted to show that knowledge on the court, not just by talking about basketball. And I felt the opportunity in Efes came at the right time. Even though everybody was kind of shocked, I felt that this was good because I wanted to create something from the bottom, from zero.”<\/p>\n
