Our goal is the same goal everybody has so the difference will be made by the little things. If we stay together we can surprise a lot of teams. There are no teams we cannot win on a given night and to start from behind is working in our favor\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>OLIMPIA <\/b>\u2013 \u201cI wanted a team where to play for real and showed\u00a0 can still win. I have always thought of Olimpia as a great team with aspirations. I think right now it\u2019s the right place for me and my family. The goal is to raise the highest possible number of trophies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>MACCABI \u2013<\/b> \u201cIt\u2019s a special place to play, my years in Tel Aviv have been exceptional. The fans are behind the team 100%, every day. They make you feel one of them and you always are. It\u2019s little bit like playing for a country, it\u2019s a great responsibility but even the teams that want to beat you in Israel when it comes to the EuroLeague they support you\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>THE 2014 EUROLEAGUE \u2013<\/b> \u201cIt was the highest point of my career, a joy that nobody can take away, the memories are still there. Even to this day I\u2019m still in touch with my teammates and we still talk about it, we still share those moments. I remember when we came back to Tel Aviv and we saw the yellow sea, 100.000 fans celebrating with us. It\u2019s unforgettable. The Milan series? It was tough, that arena was very electric, a lot of energy around. Our goal was to get one in Milan and we did. But it was tough\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>THE GAME \u2013<\/b> \u201cTo me it\u2019s a special game obviously but it\u2019s still a game and we\u2019ll try to win it. Personally I enjoy every practice and every game I can play, I feel strong and healthy. This is important to do the best\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ricky Hickman talked about the new EuroLeague season and the Maccabi Tel Aviv game since this is the team he won the European title with in 2014.
