Description
Former EuroLeague Final Four MVP and current Atlanta Hawks assistant coach Ekpe Udoh joined Antonis Stroggylakis and Cesare Milanti on the latest episode of Eurohoops’ EurohooPOD. Udoh talked about how he started a coaching career, the impact and influence of Zeljko Obradovic and how he still hears the legendary coach yelling what to do. He also discussed going from Bogdan Bogdanovic’s teammate to now coaching him and whether he’d see himself becoming a head coach on a EuroLeague team one day. An icon of Fenerbahce Beko, Udoh looked back at winning the 2017 EuroLeague championship with the Turkish club and named his favorite teammates on and off the court. He also touched on joining Virtus Bologna to play alongside a specific point guard, a “depressing” season-ending injury, while naming the EuroLeague players who could’ve moved to the NBA but never did.
