"Panathinaikos" head coach Ergin Ataman responded to Ofer Yanna, the owner of the Israeli club "Hapoel," after criticizing the Turkish coach.
Idman.Biz reports that the reason was Yanna's statements on X. He called Ataman "disrespectful and clueless" for criticizing Panathinaikos basketball player Timothy Shorts.
"You are a good guy, but you don't respect other clubs and other coaches. Pay attention to your coach, your players, and your team. Pay attention to your results. This is your first year in Europe. You have no right to talk about me. I cannot accept comments from someone who is my rival. You must be respectful. Talk to your own players. And one last thing: I heard you will have a budget of 75 million euros next year. Good luck. But even if you have this mindset and a budget of 100 million euros, you won't win anything. You will never reach my level. You will never win a EuroLeague. I won three EuroLeagues in five years. Shut up and take care of your team," - Basket News quotes Ataman.
