Shaquille McKissic was familiar with cameras, flashes, and direction, but not on the basketball floor. That is why at last year’s Final Four in Belgrade, he admits that these lights “blinded” him. However, they did not blur his sight on this year’s trophy.
While talking to Eurohoops, the US guard of Olympiacos called the 2022-23 season a “redemption” year for Olympiacos, and three days before the Final Four of the Euroleague in Kaunas (19-21/5), he did not hide that he has “a premonition that this the tournament will bring glory.”
Shaquille explained the confidence in the locker room and the court that embodies the basketball desired by coach Bartzokas, he confided in who he would give the last shot in Kaunas and highlighted what elements may decide the semi-final with Monaco.
And after appearing in one film and two documentaries his choice for a title that would fit this season is simple: “Personally, I would say “redemption”, for the taste left in our mouths last year, by Micic’s buzzer-beater. We had a chance to understand what it feels like to do a lot of things right and a few things wrong and come back to win the title.”
Here’s what Olympiacos‘ Shaq had to say to Eurohoops for the upcoming Final Four, his team, and winning the trophy.
