Dunston: “Happy to be with the winners”

Bryant Dunston spoke to olympiacosbc.gr and confirmed being happy to have joined the roster of the back to back European Champions.  

When did you know about the offer from Olympiacos and how did you react upon finding out?

“Olympiacos offer had been unexpected. Only a few days ago I was unaware that such an offer existed. I know that Olympiacos is a team with huge history, tremendous tradition and is of course the back to back Champion of Europe”.

What was that that made you accept the Olympiacos offer?

“I chose Olympiacos because their style of play matches my style. They are a winning team and I want to be with the winners. Despite not having lived in Athens, I know it’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world”.

How easy or how difficult is it for a new player to be incorporated in the roster of the back to back European Champions?

“Everything in life is a challenge for me. Being a member of a team that everyone would like to beat is a huge challenge that gives you enormous motivation”.

Each season you take a step forward in your career. Do you have in mind that at some point you would like to play for the NBA?

“I’m not looking beyond what’s ahead. I’ve come a long way, I have worked hard and I’m going to continue doing so. My goal is to be among the best. Now I am among the best and I need to work even harder”.
