Vladimir Micov has been great throughout the season for Galatasaray, averaging 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Tonight he also played his part to his team’s triumph of winning the Eurocup, with 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
“This was an incredible season for us”, said Micov to Eurohoops, moments after the Final. “We played the best basketball in Eurocup this season. And now we bring Euroleague back in Abdi Ipekci for our fans. I think this is awesome for our fans and they deserve it. We have the best fans in Turkey. So this is a big win for us, for the club and the Turkish basketball in general”.
Micov has been nicknamed as a “cold-blooded killer” by Galatasaray fans, because the expression of his face don’t seem to change even when he is filling the opposing basket. But he was full of smiles after winning the Eurocup. “That’s the face I had in all my career. I never show my emotions. I am simply quiet. That’s how I am. But of course I am smiling now. Perhaps even laughing after what we accomplished. I am so very happy for winning this trophy”.
And what about next year? “Yes, I will be here for Euroleague. I have a contract for the next season”.
