- He is to blame that we are missing one player this year. The clause to prohibit NBA players to play in the championship started from him. His club did not let him play for his national team, and he refused by saying, "you can not stop me, I'll play for my country."

- He did not have any injury, something similar to our case, but refused to stay in the NBA and came to play for Spain. Afterwards, his club reported this to FIBA ​​and that's when the clause was introduced. That is why we are now without a very important player.

- We joked a bit on the subject, he laughed and reminisced, but that decision still hurts me - said Sasa Djordjevic.
