Vezenkov: I thought about a second chance in the NBA, but I prefer to be happy **** The Bulgarian basketball player retu

Bulgarian basketball player Alexander Vezenkov returned to Olympiakos and was officially presented at a press conference in Athens, after the Greek club announced his transfer earlier today, BTA reported.

Vezenkov, who won the EuroLeague Most Valuable Player award with Olympiakos in 2023, returns to Piraeus after one season with the Sacramento Kings in the US-Canada National Basketball Association. The heavy winger's new contract with the Greek club is for five years.

The official presentation of Vezenkov was scheduled for 15:00, but it was delayed because the Bulgarian basketball player was met by many Olympiakos fans at the entrance of the hall.

"Thanks to the club bosses, without whom my return would not have been possible. I also thank the people who were here in the heat to welcome me. Olympiakos is my family. I'm happy to be here again. The goal is always the top“, said Vezenkov.

He also returned to his NBA stint with the Sacramento Kings.

"I thought about if I wanted a second chance in the NBA and if I could do the best I could. My first year was tough. Just being in one place with so many talented players teaches you a lot. It was a school. However, the most important thing for me is to be happy and fight for titles. In Toronto, they understood the situation and what I wanted, for which I thank them", explained the national basketball player.

"I am aware of the pressure that follows, but I like to take responsibility. I will continue to work hard and give 100 percent of myself. I know I can be criticized. I am happy to return to my family again," Vezenkov also said.
