Mustafa Fall joins Panathinaikos, cites Obradović as the reason
Mustafa Fall is a Panathinaikos player. The 32-year-old center has signed from Olympiacos, crossing the Athens divide in one of the biggest moves of the Greek basketball summer (1) (2).
Fall did not hide why. "This played a big role. I know he is a great coach. I wanted to be on a competitive team," he said of Željko Obradović (2). His target is explicit: the EuroLeague (2).
The first images are already out. Fall toured the locker room at the Telekom Center Athens with the shamrock on his chest (3) (4). Teammates had expected him to choose Villeurbanne or PAOK, reports Sportime, but Obradović's presence tipped it (1).
