WHAT THEY SAY...
Dejan Bodiroga: "It is a great honour and I feel very happy because seeing the 35 players that made it to the list, it is an impressing one. Like I said, it is an honour to be part of such a big team. I will be great to be a part of the ceremony in Madrid because it will be very good to be with all the contributors that made European basketball history at such a big event like the Euroleague Final Four."
