Papanikolaou: “I went to the NBA and learned about something… kittens, something Harden, how we do it in Greece”

THE Costas Papanikolaou has given dozens of interviews.

None, however, is like the one he gave to the acquaintance YouTuber 2J, as the two of them engaged in a unique fight at NBA 2K for PS5!

In the second ”Gameplays with 2J Vs Real Athlete”, 2J played against the basketball player of Olympiakos, exclusively at ΓΕΡΜΑΝΟΣ YouTube channel, and at the same time, as he was trying to win him over, he was asking them everything we would like to know about him. The result; They were told amazing things!

In the first match between the Sixers and the Raptors, the Olympiacos player first answered whether he knew from a young age that he would become a basketball player: «No, I played volleyballHe revealed! And “Pap” continued, known for his humor: «At some point a basketball academy opened and after all my friends left, I went too. I was late, 12-13 years old I started working. I saw that I like it, it suits me and fortunately for me and… unfortunately for basketball, I made the decision to deal with it».

Regarding the NBA experience, he said with plenty of self-sarcasm: «I was lucky to be given the opportunity and I went there and learned in something “kittens” and something Harden how we do it in Greece»! He acknowledged, however, that “it was a whole new world. At the beginning I felt like a fool, I did not understand what was happening».

Terrible, no, it’s what he says about her process of creating the faces of NBA players for the needs of 2K, describing his own experience: “I have gone through how they do facial in 2K. It is terrible! I remember when I was about to do my own thing in Houston, we were playing away from home, and they came from 2K and I got in a van, which must have had 200 camera microcameras»!

Then 2J and “Pap” changed groups and the Bucks-Cavaliers took turns. 2J asked Costas Papanikolaou about his interests, but also asked him some quick questions, such as:

– Who is the craziest in the locker room?

– After me;

– Who is the quietest?

– Fol, he is mild-mannered, very good boy, he is serious, the opposite of me!

– Who has the most beautiful style?

– Printezis, has had this for years!

He also revealed an unlikely incident when he was in the “small” national teams, with the charm that one of his teammates had. «I will say a charm, that someone had an old one, but I will not say a name of course. I remember we were a national team, young, on the first day we played the first match of a Pan-European. This kid listened to some specific songs and ate chocolate and because he played well and we won, in every game, until the end of the tournament – which we won by the way – he did the same. Until the end, he ate chocolate and listened to the same songs. What was the joke? That it was summer, July, it had 40 degrees. The chocolate melted, it became creamy, but it was good luck»!

But they kept the best for us for the end. 2J invited people to join one awesome competition: Five lucky winners will win the NBA 2K22 with signed by Costas Papanikolaou, but also a signed jersey!
