FMV Isik Okullari Awards Ceremony

4/3/2017

On Monday, I was honored to be presented as The Top Foreigner Athlete In Turkey. Such an incredible award. Especially during these down times. I found myself not understanding how big this award was until we entered the pre-ceremony meet and greet. I started asking Ilker Üçer(Fenerbahce's best Media Relations) if the award was just for basketball and he let me know that it was for all of the sports. That is when I started to get nervous and emotional. No tears but the love was definitely in the air.

Here I am thinking about an abysmal March on the court and losing the 4th seed... Then I think about the love that is being shown no matter what is happening on the court. This award helped me break out of the funk I've been in and that speaks volumes about my support group.

You never know who is watching. You never know which kid is learning from you and aspiring to practice like you. Make sure you move accordingly and smile.

Thank you for the love my Turkish peeps!!! You know the love is mutual...
Let's Get It

Peace

You had no tears but I did while reading your post. Everyone around including me is having down days and Fenerbahçe basketball team is the only thing to lift our spirits. We have so much trust in you to make everything better, we can count in you and the team to achieve our dreams, right? After all the light comes up when it is the darkest. I hope we will get through this together. I love you so much!

Hey Ekpe! I hope you're reading this because I want you to know. Arena won't be full in Barça game but I really don't want you to think that It's because of the bad results. No. We're here believing in you no matter what and we want to be there especially in this down times to support you, make you feel you're not alone. The management and fans are having some trouble about each other and they didn't sell any tickets in the Tofas game. They won't sell any tickets for Barça game either. Please don't think we're leaving you alone because of the bad results. We know you can beat any team even without the home advantage. As you say, Whatever you do, never count us out... right? I hope you all feel that. You're still the most beautiful team in the world and it's not gonna change with a few bad results!
Lots of love, Ekpe!
