The biggest problem in basketball teams – NBA players. One of the selectors of the selection that will participate in the upcoming Eurobasket harshly criticized the player who was rejected by the national team.
It is the selection of Turkey, and Ergin Ataman hit Ömer Yurtseven .
Yurtseven is a Miami basketball player, and he refused the selector’s invitation in order to use the summer for the best possible preparations for the next season in the NBA league.
This particularly angered Ataman:
– I was shocked when I realized that Omer did not come to the preparations. He played against Great Britain in the qualifiers for the World Cup and did well, he got on well with everyone. I couldn’t believe what happened, the assistant coaches were also surprised. He contacted the president of the Federation, Turkoglu, on the last day and said that he was not playing. I can’t understand that – Ataman said, then added:
– Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, they all play in Eurobasket. This was a good opportunity for him to show himself, because he doesn’t play in Miami anyway. I think he should apologize to the Turkish people, not to me. That’s the only way I would accept him to be part of the national team again. I would ban his American agent from doing business in Turkey. As far as the team is concerned, we have excellent players who play at the highest level.
