THE Bourgeois He was the protagonist for Olympiacos in winning the Basket League title on Panathinaikos, but he was also in the spotlight for an indecent gesture in the third final, explaining why he did not regret his energy.
In an interview with gazzetta.grEvan Fournier talked about his first season in Greece, his presence at Olympiacos, the finals with Panathinaikos, but also For the gesture to the fans of the “clover” at OAKA. He stressed that he did not keep him wrong with Center Nan for the foul that caused the “explosion” in the third Basket League final.

Especially these five deserved it! And I’ll tell you what I mean …
Do you think that if they saw me on the road they would be like that, they would find me and throw me cursed? Not of course! Because most likely they would be hit in the face! Obviously I was not able to do so, so they did it because they knew they had the safety of the stadium and we players we can’t really answer. So I had no choice but to react a bit … “
