“I would like to thank Mega for this beautiful occasion in six beautiful years, filled with unforgettable experiences, and thanks forthe great help in player and human maturation. Through this years I have learned what it means to be a professional, to be responsible, to deal with the stronger ones, to feel the success and failures.

I have no doubt that Mega remains on solid legs and is stable, just as I had found it six years ago.

My next step is my child’s dream, playing and competing in the world’s highest quality league.

To dear people from the administration, coaches, professional staff, supporters and, of course, teammates with whom I have been working all these years – thank you.

From your new fan – good luck.”

Thank you for all Zagor and we wish you a Mega NBA career!
