Kostas Sloukas emphasized that congratulations are due to his teammates and to the fans of Panathinaikos for qualifying to the Final 4, he considers that the series against a good team, such as Maccabi Tel Aviv, was tough, he spoke about his absence in the second half due to injury of him, he thinks they showed discipline, praised Kendrick Nunn and how wise the choice was his transfer and dedicated the qualification to everyone involved with the “clover”.

Analytically: “First of all, congratulations to the whole team and to our wonderful fans who support us. We did it! We deserved to be in the Final Four, we suffered a lot because Maccabi is a very big team. We gave our soul to the dance floor! In the second part I couldn’t help, as I usually do, but I’m very happy because all the guys put their bodies down and made it! We made history today and we are very proud of it. We work every day very hard, it’s the discipline we’ve shown.

There is no secret to what we did. The decision of the club to take the best scorer in Europe, Kendrick Nunn, was correct. We deserved it because we showed durability in what we did, which is very important. I dedicate this to Paris, he is getting better and I hope he will be with us in a few days. I dedicate it to the whole team, to all the children, to my family, to my wife who always supports me. To Ergin Ataman who we work and suffer together, to all the children who had stress, to the fans, to the president and to everyone. We made history today.”
