Bolomboy: "The best fans in the world" (vid)

Joel Bolomboy, the American center for Olympiacos, spoke to OlympiacosBC TV about the goals of the new season and sent his message to the ‘reds’ fans.

His statements:

"Hey Olympiacos’ fans! How’s it going? I’m Joel Bolomboy!

It’s almost that time in the season! I’m extremely happy to be joining the team! I can’t wat to come to Greece and get to work and meet with the fans, get to know the coaching staff, the administration, my new team mates. I’m really excited, I’m looking forward to it all and hope and we have an incredible season together.

I’ll be adding a little bit of everything in every aspect of the game. Rebounding, blocks, switches with the guards, defense. In the offense, I’m capable of spreading up the floor, shooting threes, open jump shots and make stuff happen. Finishing at the rim, catch oops. It’s going to be great!

The bar is set really high. Probably the highest it can be. We all just wanna get back to the Final Four and ultimately win the Euroleague and the championship.

The first time I played Olympiacos, it was an away game. We came to the arena, we were warming up, the game hadn’t even started, the arena was already sold out, there were thousands and thousands of fans. In the crowd, it was very energetic, they were jumping up and down! Of course, everyone knows what you’re going to get when you come to play Olympiacos and their fan base. They are the best fans in the world, in one of the best places to play, so I’m super excited to join.

When you play against Olympiacos, it’s really hard. But when you’re with Olympiacos, you have the support of the crowd, the support of thousands and thousands of people cheering you on every night. It’s unbelievable!

I’m super excited to be getting out there, putting on my new jersey, new team, new city, new fan base, new everything. I’m excited, it’s going to be a great year. Can’t wait to get out there and get to work.

Let’s go Olympiacos!”
