Olympiacos’ key player Shaquille McKissic spoke before the game against Partizan in the EuroLeague’s 32nd round.
McKissic will be one of the main assets for the red and whites in the upcoming game scheduled for Thursday at 8:30 PM.
“If you spend the whole week thinking about the fans and their atmosphere, then you won’t play well. Personally, I approach this match with previous experience. I’ve played in Belgrade before, played against Partizan, and I know how it will be in the arena. Overall, I’ve been part of many derbies in Greece, so I know what to expect, and I believe it will be enjoyable,” McKissic said for MozzartSport.
McKissic further elaborated on the clash at the “Stark Arena.”
“If you don’t love the atmosphere in Belgrade, then you don’t love basketball. As a young man, I dreamed of playing in an atmosphere like the one in Partizan’s arena. For me, it’s the best arena in Europe. When we talk about Partizan, we have to mention their offense. One of the best in the entire league,” McKissic stated.
