Andrei Kirilenko Evaluates Yegor Amosovs Transfer to Real Madrid: A Step Towards Greatness

The former player of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and current president of the Russian Basketball Federation (RBF), **Andrei Kirilenko**, commented on the transfer of former «Samara» player **Yegor Amosov** to Real Madrid, drawing comparisons to **Yegor Dyomin**, who also played for the Spanish club.

«This is undoubtedly a step forward, a step up. Will he be able to follow in Dyomin’s footsteps? It’s entirely possible, but I always advocate for individuals to carve their own paths. We tend to look for similarities, like with Doncic or Mirotic, who made the journey from Real’s academy to the NBA.

We’ll keep an eye on Yegor [Amosov]; it remains uncertain how his career will unfold: whether he will make it to the NBA or excel at Real. In any case, he is a very talented young man, a member of the Russian youth national team, and has already been called up to the senior national team. It’s great to see players taking such paths — it’s beneficial for our basketball and for the Russian national team,» Kirilenko stated in an interview with Championship correspondent Nikita Biryukov.
