The Manimal is MVP | Kenneth Faried’s Monster NOVEMBER Run! | EL & FRIENDS MVP TALK

Kenneth Faried is the EuroLeague MVP of November… and his story is unbelievable.
After playing in Taiwan and signing just a two-month deal, the Manimal arrived in Athens and instantly changed everything for Panathinaikos — undefeated since he put on the Green jersey.

In this exclusive EuroLeague & Friends MVP Podcast interview, Faried sits down with Olivia Harlan-Decker in Barcelona to share the whirlwind month that brought him back to the very top of European basketball:
• From Taiwan to OAKA in 24 hours
• Starting immediately and becoming a fan favorite
• Top-5 in rebounds & blocks in November
• Dunks, energy, hustle — vintage Manimal
• Why he believes PAO can make the Final Four
• His emotional tribute to his mother
• Learning Greek culture, chants & the importance of the Greek Derby

Faried talks about embracing the Panathinaikos identity, keeping a high motor, and using his NBA experience to dominate in the EuroLeague again. His passion, IQ, and chemistry with teammates like Sloukas, Kendrick Nunn & Juancho have made him the missing puzzle piece.

From EuroLeague comeback to MVP glory, this is the motivation every basketball fan needs.
