Terrible information for the Boston Celtics: Apparently y’all aren’t world champions — at the very least in line with Ergin Ataman, coach of Euroleague Champion Panathinaikos. The coach says he gained’t acknowledge the Celtics as the very best crew on the planet till they journey to Greece to play his crew.
Ataman laid down the problem in an interview with Greek YouTube channel Rafine TV.
“After the Boston Celtics turned the NBA champions, they tweeted, ‘World Champion Boston.’ The EuroLeague additionally tweeted, ‘Beat this crew first,’ with our picture. They see themselves very extremely. They need unbelievable numbers to return and play a recreation in Europe. You are usually not the world champion. If you need to get the world champion title, come and beat us, the EuroLeague champion. If you’re so assured, I say come and beat us in OAKA.”
On the one hand the coach sort of has a degree. With basketball being extra world than any level in historical past is it actually correct to say you’re the very best crew on the planet with out a global recreation between champions to settle it?
Conversely, lol the Celtics would completely homicide Panathinaikos. I completely getting standing by your guys, however one thing tells me a crew whose star participant is Kendrick Nunn may not be capable of hold with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Bown. Call it a hunch.
Perhaps I’m mistaken. Maybe Nunn is healthier than Kyrie Irving or Luka Doncic now, each of whom couldn’t get previous the Celtics. Just kidding.
This can be a massacre, however I’m additionally right here for it. Let’s have a global contest between champions if for no different motive that the world may be humbled in the event that they suppose for a second that the NBA isn’t lightyears forward of another league on the planet.
