Tyler Dorsey for Olympiakos: ‘I wanted a bigger role than last year, I don’t feel any pressure’

Tyler Dorsey spoke to the EuroLeague website about enjoying Greece, the hot weather and his role at Olympiakos.

At age 26 (born February 18), Tyler Dorsey is in the third season of his career in Europe and continues to fight to return to the NBA, where he played after his varsity days with the Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies played from Oregon. For now, however, he only thinks about reaching the playoffs with Olympiakos, because he hasn’t experienced this special postseason atmosphere in his five years of professional career.

“I want to be there, I want to feel the atmosphere, the intensity of these games. Unfortunately my first year in Europe was interrupted because of the coronavirus, I think we had a playoff team in Maccabi. In the second year we didn’t succeed, now it’s time for me to live it‘ the expatriate security guard said on the EuroLeague website, continuing: ‘Every person’s journey is different, I wanted a bigger role than last year because I want to get better every year. I want to put pressure on my shoulders. Pressure is not pressure for me. I just play the game, I accept my role. I’m happy here and I’m happy because some people gave me this role. I am blessed to have this great opportunity“.

Dorsey was enthusiastic about Greece, his attacks caused a stir among Olympiacos friends: “She is beautiful! I’m by the sea, it doesn’t get any better than that. I’ve been lucky enough to play in great places with great weather like Tel Aviv and Greece, it’s great. The hot weather is haunting me from Los Angeles, I love it these days. Here the way of life is different, slower, love it, food is great, busy. It’s a beautiful place and I’m enjoying it so farThe foreign security guard has signed a one-year contract.

OFFICIALLY. Ukraine national team player will play for the Adriatic League club

Croatian “Zadar” reported on its official website the transfer of a basketball player from the Ukrainian national team Ivan Tkachenko.

After a short trial period during which the Ukrainian player met the requirements of the coaching staff, a contract was signed with him at the end of the season.

The club has already announced that Tkachenko will participate in the Adriatic League and the Croatian Championship, so the Ukrainian can make his debut for the new team in the local championship match against Kvarner on December 27.

Tkachenko did not sign a contract with any club at the beginning of the 2025/26 season and played in only two official matches after the start of the season – as part of the Ukrainian national team, against Georgia and Denmark in November as part of the 2027 World Cup qualifiers.

Last season Ivan played for Mitteldeutscher, where he won the German Cup. The forward, who played in 32 matches in the 2024/25 Bundesliga, averaged 4.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in 17.3 minutes.

During his club career, Tkachenko played for Ukrainians Cherkasy Mavpy and Prometheus, as well as Finland’s Helsinki Seagals.

Zadar is in sixth place in the Adriatic League Group B with 4 wins in 10 matches, and is in second place in the Croatian Championship with a score of 10-1.

“Start with me.” Doncic talked about what needs to change in the Lakers

Star player of Los Angeles Lakers Luka Doncic Against the background of the embarrassing defeat of Houston Rockets (96:119), he explained what the team had to change to improve the results:

“I don’t know exactly what needs to change, but something definitely needs to change. We need to figure it out, that’s what we need to do. Everyone should discuss it.”

I know JJ Redick said it would be disturbing. And that’s the way it should be.

As I said, we need to discuss this. It may be uncomfortable, but everyone needs to try harder, starting with me.

We just have to challenge each other. Everyone should challenge themselves and their teammates. “There’s no way to play the way we play, so we’ve got to be better than that.”
