" That's what Olympiacos are hoping to do as well, given their 0-2 regular season record against Monaco. But Canaan's history with the Final Four rookie team goes back to April 2021 when his UNICS Kazan squad took on the ambitious side from the Principality in the EuroCup finals. Monaco, guided by Zvezdan Mitrovic who's now coaching Canaan's ex-team Galatasaray, swept the double-header and lifted their maiden European trophy, three years after losing the BCL title to AEK in Athens.
Canaan got well-acquainted with Monaco at Kazan and also this season at Olympiacos. Two years have gone by, and now the former NBA shooting guard is facing the same opponent with a different team and in another competition. To a large extent, his role with Olympiacos is different than what he was used to while playing in Russia, but Monaco are also a different team than the one that ended up winning the EuroCup in 2021.

"The Final Four is something that we wanted to experience together last season, but with the war and everything that happened, we didn't make it. Still, somehow, someway we made it to the Final Four with different teams. " Mario Hezonja falls under the same category, as the Croatian forward is preparing for his second career Final Four and first with Real Madrid. "I'm looking forward to seeing him, " Canaan admitted.

I thought I'd fit in Olympiacos better, " Canaan reflected. Does he feel vindicated for his choice to sign with the Greek side? "I came here to win a championship. That was my biggest motivation. It took me time this season to adjust to the playing style, my teammates, and my coaches. But I'm glad that I'm here. It's a family. Everybody on this team looks out for each other and wants the best for each other. I want to be in a situation where I'm valued, I can go out there, compete and win at the highest level.

Canaan started to look a bit surprised. "I haven't beaten them at all? " he wondered. "Wow! I knew my record against them was ugly, for sure. But it is what it is, " he said and burst into laughter.

Every chance I get to go against them, I definitely try to change the narrative.

That was the third time Olympiacos needed the tie-breaker to make the Final Four after 2013, 2017, and 2022. For Canaan, that series carried a special significance. Not only because of him having been a Galatasaray player but also because Fenerbahce pursued him last summer. "I have much respect for Fener. I don't have anything against them. It wasn't another extra, I just try to do anything for my team to win. It was crazy that I got a chance to start the playoffs against another team that was trying to sign me, but I feel like I made the best decision.
