VITORIA-GASTEIZ — Jan Vesely lost the semifinal, but at least he got three personal awards. Vesely was not only the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season MVP. He was also a member of the All-EuroLeague and he was the winner of the 7DAYS Magic moment of the season.
The first team included also Nick Calathes who missed the ceremony due to the Greek league playoffs, Kostas Sloukas, Will Clyburn and Brandon Davies. The Rising Star of the Season, Georgian big man Goga Bitadze, who was wearing an impressive bowtie received his award from the legendary Dusan Ivkovic and Walter Tavares got his best defender award.
Here’s what the winners had to say after the Gala.
