Following a strong win against Dubai BC, Olympiacos guard Tyler Dorsey shared his thoughts on his performance and his growing role on the team. After a tough loss in their previous EuroLeague game, this victory was an important step forward for the Greek team, with Dorsey playing a key part in their success.
🌱 A Fresh Start and Renewed Confidence
Even though this is his third year with Olympiacos, Tyler Dorsey feels like he’s starting a new chapter. With more playing time this season, he said, “You could say I’m like a new signing.” He believes confidence is essential in basketball and gets his from putting in extra work and effort. This mindset helps him let the game come to him naturally, allowing him to contribute in many ways, not just by scoring.
🧠 Learning from Past Games
Reflecting on their previous loss to Madrid, Dorsey explained that the team learned a valuable lesson: never relax. “We let that game slip,” he said, noting that they had a great first half but couldn’t maintain their energy. Against Dubai, the team made sure to stay focused from start to finish, which helped them secure the win early and show they had improved.
📊 More Than Just Stats
Dorsey also shared his view on performance statistics, pointing out that numbers don’t always tell the whole story without context. “It’s funny when people talk about stats; they never mention minutes,” he explained. He feels that with a bigger opportunity to play this year, he has more to prove. He is leaving last season in the past and is focused on showing what he can do every single night.
🔥 Looking Ahead to a Big Rivalry
The competitive spirit is burning bright for Dorsey, who found it difficult to watch from the sidelines last year. Now, he’s excited for every challenge, especially the upcoming Greek League game against their biggest rivals, Panathinaikos. He believes the match will be a test of will and determination. “It’s going to come down to who wants it more,” Dorsey said. “I love these kinds of games.”
