Black: «Even higher this season»! (vid)

Tarik Black, the American center for Olympiacos, spoke to the OlympiacosBC TV about his aspirations in view of the new season and urged our team’s fans to be loud and present in every game!

What he said

«Hey Olympiacos’ fans! I’m Tarik Black!

Coming to a club like Olympiacos, I recognize the winning history that you all have. So, I’m so excited to just join and be a part and probably propel it forward.

What made me say yes to the Olympiacos BC offer is the winning history of last year all the way to the Euroleague Final Four and this year there is a team comprised that can repeat that and go even higher. I wanna be a part of something so much bigger and this gives me so much joy and excitement.

What the coach is asking from me is to come and just be myself. Be who I have been for so long. Playing basketball, help the team win, play at the highest level and give it all so that the team wins in every game.

I have set the bar very high for this season. Thanks to last year’s impressive season Olympiacos has had, I feel that the bar needs to stay as high and that we push on towards the next level.

The first time I played against Olympiacos in Greece, I was playing if I remember correctly, for Maccabi Tel Aviv, about four years ago.

I have to admit that you beat us, however, we had played a very good game. What I remember is how wonderful the fans had been and how competitive the game was.

I imagine that my first game at the SEF is going to be crazy, especially with the excitement rolling over from last season into this one, with the high expectations.

I just expect the fans to show up and show out”.
