When Gerald Robinson was walking off the court and towards the Monaco locker rooms following his team’s victory over MHP Riesen in the first Basketball Champions League semifinal, thousands of AEK fans were already singing in favor of their team, before the semi vs. Murcia.

It might be quite difficult for any team to face such a loud opposing crowd, but the idea of possibly playing against the Greek club in the Final, doesn’t sound intimidating at all.

This is what makes the game fun. I’ve always heard about Greek fans, they are very passionate about basketball atmosphere they create. This is a very fun atmosphere,” Robinson told Eurohoops.

After all, a team that aspires to go all the way and lift the illustrious trophy when all is said in done, can’t really have any “preferences” regarding the opponent.

If you want to be the champion, you have to play the best teams. You always want to play against the best team. Whoever wins the next team, then they are the best opponent,” Robinson said.
