Random EuroLeague coach calls out Boston Celtics' "World Champions" title once again | Sporting News

The Boston Celtics were called out once again by the coach of the EuroLeague champions, Ergin Ataman of Greek team Panathinaikos.

This isn't the first time he called out the Cs , asking for a match between the two, which he asked for against on the Off the RECourt podcast.

You guys [Celtics] are not world champions.

You are only NBA champs.

We [Panathinaikos] are the EuroLeague champions.

If you want to be world champions, come and play us.

Beat us and then okay, youll be world champions.

The Celtics were an NBA best 64-18 this past season, only losing three games in the playoffs before winning it all.

The Celtics also had the best offense in NBA history this past season with a 123.4 offensive rating.

The Cs defeated the Dallas Mavericks in a Gentlemans Sweep, 4-1.

Panathinaikos, who were second in the Euroleague this past season with a record of 23-11, won the Euroleague against Real Madrid, and featured former NBA players such as Kendrick Nunn and Jerian Grant.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has mentioned setting up a tournament between the two leagues, so one day the two champions may be able to settle the debate, once and for all.
