As he explained to Eurohoops: “We made history, we are working for this two years. We are working for this our whole life and we finally succeeded. We were thinking about the final against CSKA Moscow every day for one year and now we can sleep more easily. Ok, not tonight, but we will”.
It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it for the players themselves and for Fenerbahce‘ fans: “Every time you work early to go to practice, every time the coach yells at you, everytime you end at the cold tub, which is really cold, every time you are injured. It’s worth it. This is also for Fenerbahce fans. They are amazing, First of all it’s about us, but it’s also for them. Thanks you guys”.
As for Final Four MVP Ekpe Udoh, Kalinic still believes that he should have won one more trophy: “He also deserved the defensive player of the year award, but I think he will be ok as the Final Four MVP”.
