Ataman Demands EuroLeague Inspection! Turk Blasts Spaniards: "Disrespectful, They Put Us in a Storage Room"

"It's been incredible weather in Valencia at this time of year, and the atmosphere and arena are truly fantastic, the best arena I've seen so far," he stated at the post-game press conference.

"But I want to call on the new EuroLeague CEO (Ćusa Buena), who is Spanish and very capable; he's trying to improve the EuroLeague and bring it closer to NBA standards. I think he lives very close, so he can get in his car, and I suggest he checks the locker rooms, that storage room that the Valencia club provides for the coaching staff."

"It's disrespectful to all coaches in the EuroLeague. If you want, you can come and see this storage room. This is the only big surprise for me, so I invite him and suggest he comes here and checks this situation, because the EuroLeague is a very important competition and the image of the EuroLeague is very important, as it is for the coaches," Ataman explained. "Other coaches have complained about this before, but nothing has changed. That's why I'm asking him to get in his car – it's a two, three-hour drive from Barcelona – and check the situation. Maybe it will be better for the teams playing against Valencia in upcoming games."
