Rick Pitino returned to Turkish Airlines EuroLeague as Panathinaikos head coach and he has already started ‘recruiting’ NBA players to come.
Coach Pitino addressed – in a joking manner – the back and forth between the Boston Celtics‘ Marcus Smart and a fan at the game against the Denver Nuggets:
“I see another dumb fan got into it with Marcus Smart. I encourage any player sick of that nonsense to come play for Panathinaikos. You can go thru the Euroleague and not understand any words”
I see another dumb fan got into it with @smart_MS3. I encourage any player sick of that nonsense to come play for Panathinaikos. You can go thru the Euroleague and not understand any words ?
