EUROHOOPS:”All the children from Croatia who played basketball wanted once upon a time to be the “new Drazen”. All the children from Greece wanted to be the “new Galis” and all the children from Germany the “new Nowitzki”. Tibor Pleiss could be one of them. When the basketball idol of his country was drafted in the NBA, the center of Laboral Kutxa was only nine years old. When Dirk was for the first time an All Star, he was twelve and when he led Germany in the Eurobasket final, Tibor was sixteen. After a while he started shining in the top level of German basketball with Koln. Then he appeared in the Euroleague with Bamberg and since 2012, after his transfer to Baskonia he had to change the poster in his bedroom. He wants to follow the tradition of the team and hunt the NBA dream, so his inspirers are new different.”
