Before the tip-off of this year's Playoffs and the start of Panathinaikos's series against Valencia, an article in a related text had stated, "Pin Montero's statement to the locker room wall," wanting to emphasize the extra motivation the "Greens" players should have for the games.
What had Montero said? That "we can beat them not only 5 times, but... 6, 7 or 8!", stemming of course from the 2 regular season games where Valencia had gone 2/2 against Panathinaikos.
In the end, what did the "Greens'" people do? They actually... pinned the statement of the 22-year-old Dominican guard to the entrance of the locker room so that the players would have the... spice and extra motivation for this series.
The result? 2 wins in Spain and one step away from the Final Four in Athens.
