David Andersen:
“I feel great, really great! This is what it is all about, winning the Euroleague title. This one is for everybody that loves me: My family, my friends and of course for everybody at CSKA Moscow. It means a lot to me and now it is time to celebrate with everybody at CSKA!”
"I feel great, mate. This is what it's all about, getting a win in front of all these Maccabi fans for all the CSKA fans here, all the red army. We got in control and started working a bit more on offense, and our defense really started to tighten up and stopped them getting the shots they wanted. It was a great team effort. It's always been great core of guys. We have great group that works well together well and we all get along off the court, too, so it's no surprise that we won. We always had faith and it paid off."

Trajan Langdon:
“I have won awards, but this is a great feeling. Winning the Euroleague title means more than anything else in my sports life. We have all worked hard all season. The most important thing is that the team won, It wouldn’t matter if I scored 4 points or 20. Like I said, we have worked so hard all season long and to top it off with this win is unbelievable.”

J.R.Holden:
”I said that defense wins championships. We just fought so hard as a team today. I think we just all played so hard today and stayed together. In the third quarter we starting letting them get back in it, but we just played a great game. These guys out here gave all they had all year. And we got our reward tonight. We all put it together and I feel so happy for coach and his family. He believed in us all season. And that means a lot to us as a team, and I'm really happy we won. You can't ask for more. Coach is staying and we have a championship. How great is that?”
