Coach Galanis talks about his friendship with Sergio Scariolo and the lessons from the Italian coach, the simplicity of the Celtics and the arrogance of Kawhi Leonard, and comments on the Bucks’ run and the role of coach Doc Rivers.
The memories of past trips to the USA, the service of the Kings and the (“prophetic”) presence of Sasha Vezenkov in Sacramento.
