Nenad Krstic News

On the day he was crowned bwin MVP for November, Nenad Krstic of CSKA Moscow celebrated being chosen as the Euroleague’s best player over the past month with a Euroleague.net interview. Krstic joined frontcourt mate Andrei Kirilenko to become the first teammates in the eight-year history of the award to win back-to-back monthly MVP titles. The veteran center, who is playing his first season for the Russian champions, has helped guide CSKA to a perfect 6-0 Euroleague record thus far. In addition to his averages of 15.3 points on 61.5% shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 1 blocks and 22.3 performance index rating, Krstic saved his best game for last with a dominating performance against Zalgiris to finish November in style after Kirilenko was injured. In this interview, Krstic summed up CSKA’s four impressive November wins – including an overtime thriller at reigning Turkish Airlines Euroleague champion Panathinaikos –and looked ahead to the future. "The fact that we have a 6-0 record doesn't mean at all that we will go to the Final Four. There are many good teams out there and we will see what happens in the Top 16 and the playoffs," Krstic told Euroleague.net. Remaining both optimistic and modest, he concluded "I think we have a good chance, but at the same time, we haven't done anything yet."
