While playing in the Greek championship finals with Olympiakos, Evan Fournier made headlines during Game 3 with a shocking gesture toward the crowd. This earned him a bizarre reaction from Vincent Poirier, his teammate on the national team.
Evan Fournier made the right choice by returning to Europe a few months ago, when he could no longer find a place to play in the NBA. By signing with Olympiakos last fall, the French guard notably regained a lot of playing time after long months spent polishing the bench on the other side of the Atlantic.
He even became one of the main architects of the Greek club’s superb season, which reached the Final Four. Unfortunately for Fournier & co., the adventure ended at the finals, as they lost to Monaco. An elimination that the former Knicks player still finds very difficult to digest.
Fortunately, it’s not all over for him yet, as Olympiakos can still become Greek champions this season. The final is a real clash for the Athenian clubs, as the opponent is none other than legendary local rivals Panathinaikos. For the time being, however, Fournier and co. lead the series 2-1.
Vincent Poirier’s punchline after the Evan Fournier controversy
Speaking of the Frenchman, he made headlines during Game 3 with a highly inappropriate gesture toward opposing fans. Enough to earn him an ejection and spark riots at the end of the game, in a heated atmosphere… Vavane’s teammate on the French team, Vincent Poirier, however, reacted with a touch of humor by referring to the current events in France:

The timing is indeed well chosen… For their part, Olympiakos’ management has defended Fournier following the controversy. He probably doesn’t care much about it anyway, especially if he were to be crowned champion in a few days.
