Yabusele: 'Obradovic Is One of the Best Coaches in EuroLeague, I Only Respect Him'

Panathinaikos' French forward Guerschon Yabusele, referring to his teammates Matthias Lessort, Moustapha Fall, and Sylvain Francisco as 'my brothers,' spoke candidly about his relationship with head coach Zeljko Obradovic. Yabusele emphasized that Obradovic was one of the main reasons he returned to the EuroLeague. "He is, if not the best, then one of the best coaches in the EuroLeague. You know, he has his own mentality, he thinks differently, he has immense experience and has won numerous championships. Being able to return to the EuroLeague and work with such a coach is truly special, and I know its value. That's why I try to only respect him and learn something from him." Yabusele also touched on the rivalry between Panathinaikos and their eternal rivals Olympiacos, saying, "I understand what's going on between the two teams. Everyone tells me: No matter what happens during the season, you can't lose to them!" When asked which NBA player he would bring to Panathinaikos if he could, Yabusele answered without hesitation: Kevin Durant. These statements have become one of the hottest topics in Greek basketball.
