Jordi Bertomeu, Euroleague Basketball president and CEO:
Just like fans in Moscow and all over the continent, we at Euroleague Basketball have had the distinct pleasure for a decade to watch J.R. and Trajan make our competition great. We can talk for hours about their titles, their records, their triumphs, their biggest moments, their streaks and their talent. But we also must say that, having worked with them, the professionalism that J.R. and Trajan displayed on and off the court has been equally inspiring. They arrived as young players who built brilliant careers in the Euroleague, and they leave as two grown men who became lifetime members of our European basketball family.
