CAN'T let THESE GUYS down | Tyson Ward Gets REAL About Olympiacos' Title Run | EuroLeague & Friends

In this exclusive interview with Euroleague and Friends, the newcomer opens up about the weight of wearing the Olympiacos jersey, what it feels like to walk through the streets of Piraeus and hear fans say "we need this," and the pressure of playing for a club where making the Final Four isn't a goal — it's the bare minimum.
Ward reflects on his journey from Paris Basketball, where he played with house money, to Olympiacos, where every possession carries championship expectation. He breaks down the team's lockdown defensive opening, the leadership of veterans like Sasha Vezenkov, Alec Peters, and Kostas Papanikolaou, and why this Olympiacos squad has "no missing pieces" heading into Sunday's title game at Telekom Center Athens.
The first-time finalist shares why he plays selfless basketball, his "I don't care if I score" mentality, and how the energy of 10,000 fans pushed the Reds to one of their best defensive performances.
