Kyrie Thomas, the new acquisition of Maccabi Tel Aviv, was presented today (Monday) at a press conference at Menora Mivtachim Hall.
"I know a lot of players who have been here and they explained to me what to expect when I come here. I want to be who I am and enjoy the moment. There is a great atmosphere here, amazing and welcoming players and so does the professional team. Everyone received me wonderfully," said the player.
"I'm not looking to be the star but to fit into the method and be part of this team."
"My goal is to get back in shape and start my career as a basketball player outside the United States. Here every game is important and everyone's goal is to win every game. I know Maccabi's ideology is victories and titles. In high school and college I was not in winning teams so I really want to be part of a team. Wins and wins championships. "

Meanwhile, in the shadow of the painful loss in the derby, the Yellows are preparing for the important game against Alba Berlin tomorrow (Tuesday, 21:15).
"The most important thing after the loss in the derby is to get back on our game path and show something different on the pitch tomorrow, that's the important goal for me," said Yannis Sapropoulos.
"We meet a good team that if it can be played, it has qualities so we have to be tough and play our way.
"We have to be tough after the loss and not let it affect us. The worst thing is to give up, but I will not give up and neither will the players."
