NIGEL HAYES-DAVIS EXCITED THE CROWD WITH HIS TURKISH SPEECH
Nigel Hayes-Davis, who was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the EuroLeague Final Four organization, gave a speech in Turkish to the fans. In his speech, which he read from his mobile phone, Hayes said:
"We are the champions of the EuroLeague. We have won the biggest trophy in Europe, but this is not just the victory of a trophy; it is the victory of a stance, a belief, and a character. This success did not come solely from a coach's tactics or the players' talent. You do not reach this level only through sporting success. This achievement is the result of a believing team, a persevering community, and you, our great fans, who have always been by our side. This trophy was won with the values that Fenerbahçe possesses, not just by playing. By working hard, believing in each other, never falling apart, not forgetting loyalty, walking together shoulder to shoulder, and fairly... Fenerbahçe is not just a club; it is an attitude, a stance, and a principle. As our great leader, Atatürk, said, 'I love the intelligent, agile, and ethical athlete' and 'Victory is a matter of belief; those who do not believe do not have victory.'”
