Tony Taylor of Turk Telekom has returned to the 7DAYS EuroCup for the first time since playing the competition with PGE Turow Zgorzelec in the 2014-15 campaign. In the meantime, Taylor has played in Russia, France, Italy (for Virtus Segafredo Bologna), and Turkey, where he has lived for five years. Taylor showed his cooking abilities in a EuroLeague video in 2014 which turned out to be incredibly funny. His statement that "You can't forget the salt, man!" has chased him in a funny way since then. Taylor's positivity matches his basketball talent, and that makes him the perfect choice to tell us what's going on with Turk Telekom Ankara in a EuroCupBasketball.com blog, all season long!
This is my first 7DAYS EuroCup season since 2015, so I was definitely looking forward to being back to the EuroCup and the EuroLeague competitions. I think it's a real good competition, and when I was presented the opportunity, I definitely wanted to make the most out of it. I like the format. I definitely like the format. It's more like a full league and that's what I really like about it. The competition is good, playing against good teams and going all over the place. It's definitely good travel as well. We've got a bunch of good cities in our group, like Paris and London. I hope we'll have enough time to maybe get out and do a little sightseeing. But obviously it's a business trip. So if we get to do it, great. If not, it's all good as well. I am looking forward to even more of the travel that we are going to have. It's been good so far. I have been having fun.
