Vlado Micov is not a flamboyant player, he’s not flashy, he’s all meat, a guy who doesn’t care about stats, spectacular plays and things like that. He’s not used to get individual rewards. That’s why in Brescia he was sincerely surprised when he was notified with the MVP trophy. Then with his two childrens did all the things coming with the honor, the trophy presentation, the on-court interview, the media obligations. He scored 29 points in two games in Brescia, he was extremely good in the final making five threes and even more than that. He’s appreciated by coaches, opponents and obviously teammates. In the history of the trophy, he comes after Kruno Simon in 2016 and Jordan Theodore in 2017. But it was a classic team win since the trophy could have been gone to Arturas Gudaitis, who was a monster inside, to Nemanja Nedovic who had a terrific semifinal game or to Mike James, the home-run hitter. But it’s fitting that Professor Micov was able to show an individual trophy for once.
