What is certain is that I will give everything in every practice and every game to help Panathinaikos.
Panathinaikos is definitely a huge challenge for me. I have played to ACB Final with Bilbao, but Panathinaikos is the biggest challenge of my career.
The proposal Panathinaikos at this time was a pleasant surprise for me. I could not say no to Panathinaikos”, he said.
