Coach Ataman’s views on Deron Williams

Beşiktaş JK Men’s Basketball Head Coach Ergin Ataman analyzed recently acquired NBA star Deron Williams for Beşiktaş TV.

“All critics agree he is the best NBA player ever to play in Turkey. Having a 27-year-old All-Star with 20 points and 5 assists per game average on our lineup will definitely boost our team. The contract negotiations lasted more than 15 days, but  thanks to  contributions by Chairman Yıldırım Demirören, we’ve managed to sign him in the end. He is going to be with us until the NBA lockout is fully over. There are other NBA All-Stars, who have shown desire playing for us along side Williams.  One of them is legendary Kobe Bryant, but we need a sponsor to bring him in here.  Kobe Bryant in Turkey? Wouldn’t it be a sensation? This shows how great club we are.”
