Another AegeanBall Festival gathered a lot of people, with George Printezis to talk to Cosmote TV about the success of the event, but also its future, reminding how his priority is Olympiacos.
Regarding the festival, he emphasized that “what makes me the most happy is the look on the children’s faces when they see up close players they admire regardless of team and who in the square where they come and play, like me and my daughter, suddenly see players from the Euroleague or the NBA.”
Regarding Olympiakos, he stated, among other things, that “my priority and my mind is in Olympiakos, lies are bad, it is the team I love, the team I grew up withthe team I want to give back to them for what they gave me”.
Analytically:
“The truth is that something very beautiful is coming out, for which of course I am not the only one responsible. The aura of the island helps a lot, that everyone wants to come for three days and have a good time.
Because in 3×3 compared to 5×5 you get the ball in your hands too many times and you have to do something, so many times even if you are a professional you play seriously and, combined with the social and charity work that the event does, I think that it makes this whole world love it.
I am not responsible for the event. It is everyone’s responsibility for basketball in general. For me, what makes me the happiest is the look on the children’s faces when they see up close players they admire regardless of the team and who in the square where they come and play, like me and my daughter, suddenly see players from the Euroleague or the NBA.

It is also the most important thing to be able to inspire children. I was lucky to grow up with the 90’s generation that all of us loved basketball so much. We watched basketball, we loved the derbies very much and there was a league of many teams. The Greek loves basketball. The 90’s were perhaps other times, more pure. It was also the success of ’87 that certainly played a role.
I love basketball and it’s what I’ve learned to do. We all think we can do a lot more than we really know. I too have dedicated myself to basketball since I was 13, I wouldn’t want to do anything else. My priority and my mind is on Olympiakos, no lies, it is the team I love, the team I grew up with, the team I want to give back to them for what they gave me. I feel that I am loved and that I want to offer. From there, I would like to do something with the children.”
