After EuroLeague announced that Real Madrid center Edy Tavares is named Best Defender Olympiacos Piraeus star guard Kostas Sloukas took it to Twitter to express his opinion that Thomas Walkup, his teammate on the Reds’ backcourt should’ve won the award.
Walkup was the runner-up in the coaches’ voting. Here’s what Sloukas wrote by tagging everyone involved:
“With respect to @Euroleague & a great player who has dominated ELB for years @waltertavares22, in my humble opinion, @twalkup23 deserved DPOY this season. Despite lacking size like Walter, he troubled every opponent, contributed immensely, and helped our team clinch 1st place.”
This is a unique case of a tweet by Kostas Sloukas since he had never made a similar comment on his social media.
