Laboral Kutxa
Height: 2,10m.
DOB: 17/11/1983
Country: Greece
Why he should be voted the MVP: Ioannis Bourousis is having a dream season that no one could have expected when he was signing with Laboral Kutxa shortly before the start of the season. The Greek center is in the best condition of his 14-year term in the Euroleague in the first season where he feels and is the leader of a team. Perasovic has built the whole team around the experienced center, a rare occurrence in European basketball in the last decade, and has been thoroughly vindicated thanks to Bourousis’s excellent performances throughout the entire season. Not only did he score and get rebounds, he passed really well, creating plays for his teammates. In a team that had a low ceiling when the season was getting under way and inexperienced teammates at this level, Bourousis became the reason that Laboral is going to be in the Final Four in Berlin and this definitely gives him a strong advantage for the MVP award.
