Dimitris Itoudis burst out with a journalist’s question: “How dare you ask me something like that”

THE Dimitris Itoudis I was beside myself inquiry Lithuanian journalist after Hapoel Tel Aviv’s 104-100 defeat by Wolves, with the Greek coach giving a… paid answer.

In a thrilling game, Hapoel Tel Aviv were defeated by the Wolves 104-100 on the road, with Dimitris Itoudis fuming over a reporter’s ill-advised question at the post-match press conference.

In particular, the Greek technician received a question about how he feels about having previously worked in Russia, a country of terrorists during the war, with Itoudis answering in an intense tone:

“Are you serious now? Ask someone else. I’m not a politician, I’m a basketball coach. Sport unites. Are you saying this to me? How dare you? Sport unites. I have many players from different nationalities, sport unites.

Sport unites, that’s what you have to show. Sport unites!”
