Splitter: “Raí is a legend”
After the victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv (96-83) on Thursday night, Tiago Splitter took a moment to pay heartfelt tribute to his fellow Brazilian, Raí, who attended the 22nd EuroLeague matchday at the adidas arena.
Tiago Splitter, head coach of Paris Basketball:
“Raí is one of those iconic players. He had a long career in Brazil and, of course, at PSG… As a Brazilian, I have immense respect for everything he has accomplished, and today I had the chance to meet him briefly before the game started. Later, he was sitting right next to the bench, and we got to chat a bit. It’s great to see him here, and I’m honored he came to watch one of our games.

Even during the match, we talked, to be honest! It’s nice to see guys like him enjoying different sports and supporting fellow Brazilians. I know he’s involved in a new project now, and he invited me, so I’ll probably go to a football match soon!
I told the players that he’s a legend in Brazil and also at PSG—it’s like he’s French now! Even during the game, the players realized he had a strong connection to football but, above all, that he’s a superstar!”
