It was game 3 of the 2023 Scudetto finals when the first rumor linked Nikola Mirotic to Olimpia Milano, from that moment there were many vicissitudes of the market, there were many teams to which the former Barcelona player seemed to be destined, but then the arrival in red and white had brought great enthusiasm to the Lombard square.
A season, that of Mirotic and Milan in general, which did not meet expectations. The Milanese started badly in the Super Cup, they never shone in the Euroleague and the Italian Cup stolen from under their noses by a surprising Napoli made the red and white 33 almost a burden for Armani. An immeasurable talent but who was unable to fit into Ettore Messina’s systems and share the pitch with as many champions. In the end, however, it was the Montenegrin who prevailed and in a very important game 4, given that defeat would have meant going to the play-off at the Segafredo Arena in Bologna, he demonstrated all his abilities on a pitch . Mirotic finished the match with 30 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks, one steal, 12 fouls suffered and 47 rating, mind-boggling numbers that earned him the MVP of the Finals.
