BELGRADΕ – Zidek shares memories with all the participating teams of the Final Four, he tells Eurohoops.

“I’m connected to all four clubs in the Final Four. With Zalgiris, I reached the biggest achievement in my professional career. I also played for a year in Real and enjoyed life in Madrid, I played three months for Ulker [Fenerbahce] and I also work for the VTB United League.”

Zidek, who also serves as a commentator for EuroLeague TV, mentions: “The intensity, believing in the coach, a lot of players playing to the 100% of their abilities, these are common things this Zalgiris has with the 1999 team”.
