Monaco played its last game of 2024 and convincingly defeated Anadolu Efes at Gaston Medecin.
Therefore, head coach Vassilis Spanoulis was more than pleased and heaped praise on the team’s leader, Mike James.
“He plays like MVP; it’s not about the stats, but the way he leads the team and with other guys the way he plays. He plays complete basketball. Mike plays great on offense and defense; he shares the ball, scores, draws fouls, plays great defense, and tries a lot on defense on both ends of the court. This is greatness,” Spanoulis said at the postgame press conference.
He praises the whole Monaco team.
“Same with Elie, Jordan, everybody. They all play with great mindset, offensively and defensively“.
He should have more players at his disposal soon, with Nick Calathes on the verge of returning and Alpha Diallo recovering well.
“Nick is much better; we think that next week maybe we will have him with the team, and Alpha is going really, really good,” Vassilis Spanoulis concluded.
