Zeljko Obradovic stresses a team-first philosophy

Head coach Zeljko Obradovic says Panathinaikos will only succeed if every player puts the team above individual goals.

The nine-time EuroLeague champion made it clear that collective basketball will always be the foundation of his philosophy.

“We have many talented players, but we have to play as a team. That’s the key to everything. The philosophy is simple: the team is more important than any individual, including me.”
