Tony Parker found out firsthand what inspired Andres Feliz’s career night in Real Madrid’s 111-92 win over ASVEL: the Dominican guard was facing his idol.
“I asked Feliz if he was going to miss a three or something. And he was like, ‘I’m playing against my idol.’ So now I understand why he made eight threes — he was playing against his idol,” Parker said.
Feliz finished with 26 points, comfortably surpassing his previous EuroLeague career high of 18, set against Paris in January. He shot 8-of-11 from beyond the arc, doubling his previous personal best of four three-pointers against Maccabi.
For the former NBA champion and French basketball great, Feliz’s answer offered a humorous explanation for a shooting performance his team struggled to contain.
