Fenerbahce's head coach, Dimitris Itoudis, was asked about Nemanja Bjelica, a Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade forward who came to the Serbian club from Fenerbahce and whose salary is reportedly at least partially paid for by the Turkish club.

Itoudis was visibly irritated with the question.

"Bjelica? He's in Zvezda, isn't that right? I don't understand. Why [do you ask] these questions now? You don't know if he's in Zvezda or not? Is it a secret to you?" he asked the reporter. "Nemanja's contribution to Fenerbahce and Serbian basketball is great."

Itoudis then went on to list every single player on the Fenerbahce roster, starting from Jonathan Motley and ending with Sertac Sanli, naming 16 players overall.

"That's the Fenerbahce roster. I'm sorry that I had to do this. If necessary, I'll repeat it," Itoudis said.

Bjelica hasn't played a single game this season, and it was reported that he was considering retirement.
