Panathinaikos drew 1-1 against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague playoffs, with the game having a lot of tension both on and off the court, where there was also an incident with the coach of the “clover”, Ergin Ataman.
The players of Panathinaikos and Maccabi Tel Aviv exchanged some… French on the way to the locker room, but Ataman also had an intense confrontation with an Israeli, as can be seen in a related video circulating on social media.
The Turkish coach appears furious with a man and shouts: “What are you doing in my dressing room? Who is this guy?” He replied that “I am from Israel”, to be followed by new voices of Ataman. “What are you doing in my locker room? Who is this; Call the safety on this guy,” said the two-time Euroleague champion.
