Mitoglou: “Ataman lets me see through every situation, he is simple but strict”
After his full performance against PAOK, Dinos Mitoglou spoke about his overall performance this year at Panathinaikos AKTOR, but also about his own role.
Dinos Mitoglou played a leading role in Panathinaikos AKTOR’s 97-85 home win over PAOK as he recorded a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. After the game, the international striker spoke about the game in question as well as the team’s general progress and the multifaceted efforts of everyone in the organization.
“I was chasing the double-double, I was also a bit lucky, things like that happen. My teammates and the coach told me I had a rebound. The thing is, you play hard for your team every time, give 100% and chase victory.” . Statistics come second. The most important thing is to get the win, come in, play hard and be focused. I think this is the mentality every athlete should have.
I’m not tired. I work, I do my rehabilitation, I rest when I have to and I try to perform on the field, that’s my job. I’m doing well. I feel very good.
I congratulate PAOK. He had some failures but he played great. They are a team that, if you relax, can identify your weaknesses at any time. Huacho is back, he will give us solutions to “3” and “4”. Ioannis (Papapetrou) will be back, Grant had a slight knee problem. We had a few absences. Grigon is the same. There were moments when we relaxed, we got a lead, PAOK achieved great successes and we… had to keep up from the start. That wasn’t an excuse. We have to come in with a winning mentality every time. That’s exactly what I told my teammates. Big games are coming and we have to be ready
Great efforts are being made and important changes are being made. From the top, from the president to the stadium, which are very important to achieve a certain goal. We want to win every game and go as far as possible in Greece and Europe. We are a new team, there will be ups and downs and that is normal. We must have patience. Let’s be professionals. This is the right attitude and this is how we should move forward.
Coach Ataman makes me play, recognize every situation whether I’m playing inside or outside, be good defensively and be who I am. He doesn’t ask for anything more. Perform and help the team win. The trainer is simple. Simple but strict. But he is not who he is by chance. Thank you for the game. That is the purpose. When you catch the ball you always have a smile in you and on you. That smile should never be lost. “We have this great world with us, for some children we are role models,” Mitoglou reported in detail.

Unicaja President Antonio Nieto spoke about the project NBA Europe, which, according to preliminary plans, could start as early as October 2027, and noted that his club will try to get into the tournament through participation in the national league or the Champions League.
“We will never be an NBA franchise. These franchises will be located in very big cities, so that’s their idea; cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Istanbul, London, Paris… These are the teams that will create 12 permanent franchises and they say that they will have to pay about 500 million over 10 years for a television contract. Then there are 4 places that other teams participating in the Champions League or domestic leagues can enter every year and take one of these 4 places. Our goal is, as they say – Although I do not know all the rules Unlike the Euroleague, if we play one year in the NBA, the income will be similar or close to what the team owners get.
I don’t know who will leave or what transitions will occur. However, I think it would be a mistake for both leagues to exist at the same time. Clear and stable agreements are needed to bring basketball into order, as it is now the most unregulated of all sports. There cannot be 4-5 European competitions. People have a hard time understanding this, their interests diverge, players focus too much on the matches, injuries happen too often. And it is difficult to gather spectators in halls where there are so many matches. Economically this is unprofitable, this is absurd.
This is a matter of ego, and all parties need to come to the table and use common sense to create a logical system with one major league with economic control and real profits. A second strong league could provide an opportunity to enter NBA Europe, Euroleague or whatever it is called. “This would make sense and create a more coherent map of European basketball.”
Previously, the owner of the Euroleague club criticized the NBA Europe project.
