The American forward, now in his fourth season with the club, praised the work of coach Sergio Scariolo.

"I want to thank coach Scariolo, who's been fantastic since day one," Weems stated. "We lost many players, we had so many injuries, but he didn't care, he always kept us on the wire and the guys kept fighting. It didn't matter who was playing, we always fought. That shows how good was the spirit inside the locker room."

"I'm incredibly proud and for me, it's special to be part of all this," Weems added. "I want to thank so many people inside the organization that work so hard behind the scenes. Really hard-working people who helped me a lot over the years do not receive a lot of recognition, but they deserve all the praise."

This is the second major European trophy that Weems won with Virtus Bologna after the Basketball Champions League in 2019.
