But Spanoulis was the icon for all of us who are presently within the national group and I wish we could do something more. Folks like Toliopoulos, like the another players who will come to assist, I truly need that we all win something enormous together.

We won the championship and we cried together. That portion is difficult, but the NBA could be a trade, we all get it that there are trades.”
