"I wasn't here, so I don't feel what the fans feel!" Allman speaks ahead of Panathinaikos clash and Željko Obradović's return

"We are extremely connected and solid as a unit. Most importantly, there are no egos on this team—every single player is purely focused on winning. That starts off the court in the locker room and naturally carries over onto the hardwood. We have a great, incredibly selfless leader in Carlik Jones, who gives his absolute all for the team, and the rest of us just follow his lead." — Kyle Allman

"Panathinaikos has incredible roster depth and high quality at every single position. We are fully aware that a grueling battle awaits us. It's a double-round week, so we'll have to expend every bit of energy we have, but above all, we have to play with maximum fight and intensity." — Kyle Allman

"For me personally, it's not a special game in an emotional sense, but I'm completely aware of what it means to so many people here. I wasn't with the club previously, so I can't share the same feelings as the fans since he was never my coach, but I respect all of that entirely. I understand the emotions in the stands, but my focus is strictly on what happens between the lines on the court." — Kyle Allman

"I know their current coach was here last year, just like several players have been in previous seasons. But Panathinaikos is, above all, a powerhouse European club, and every time they come to town, it's a fantastic opportunity to claim a massive scalp against one of the top teams in the EuroLeague." — Lamar Stevens
