In the dead end of the Avenue, he was found Kostas Sloukasregarding 1st Basketball Camp Academy.
His leader Panathinaikou AKTOR was invited to the camp organized by Eleni Kapogianni and Lolita Lymourawhere he had the opportunity to discuss with… new blood who wants to learn the secrets of basketball, conveying valuable experiences from his career.
In fact, he spoke to the ERT camera about his progress so far with the greenbut also for the Final Four who is coming, stressing that he will be ready in time despite the injury that is bothering him.
In detail what he said:
On whether he remembers his own beginnings: “Yes, I also started as a child going to camp with ambitions and dreams. Players who were role models for me often came, whose words remained in my mind and in my heart deeply engraved until now”.
On the fact that he often saw his sister at the closed “Pavlos Giannakopoulos”: “It’s true, my sister has won a championship here, she fought for several years in the club and has a successful career in Panathinaikos. Fate brought it so that I am now here too.”
On whether he’ll make it to the Final Four: “Yes, I will catch up I think. I have a gastrocnemius problem and I am undergoing intensive treatment, so I think I will be fine for the semi-final against Fenerbahce. Ambitions are always high, we have confidence in ourselves and with the support of the crowd we can go to the final”.
On his past in Fener and also for Kalathis, Papagianni: “My relationship with Fener is also special, as you know I was booed this year in their stadium for reasons I don’t understand, because last year I scored a difficult basket there with my previous team. Beyond that, the particularities with Kalathis and Papagiannis also exist, but generally in my mind there is only to compete with passion and get the qualification that the Panathinaikos organization needs”.
On what he said with Dimitris Giannakopoulos at the beginning of the year: “What I said with Dimitris Giannakopoulos at the beginning of the year will of course remain between us, but of course there are always the ambitions and the vision we had for the future of Panathinaikos. I want to believe that starting on Friday we will beat Fenerbahçe and go to the final, and then for 40 minutes we will fight for our chances for the title.”
