With a post on Instagram, Dimitris Giannakopoulos expresses the wish that the looming “eternal” finals in the championship will give further impetus to the sport. Her strong man KAE Panathinaikos however, he also leaves some points by talking about “Hellenization-scandals”, but also against ESAKE, EEC, KED, media stressing that they should “… they also stand up to their standards, unlike in recent years».
The DPG post states:
The playoffs started yesterday. Logically, without surprise, two of the four best teams in Europe will face each other in the finals. Olympiacos has been a constant presence in the Final Four in recent years, but now Panathinaikos has returned to its throne. It is a great opportunity to fill the arenas again with children shooting basketballs and maybe Diamantides, Spanoulides etc etc will come out again, so that we are not looking for Greekizations – scandals.
The managements of the two teams have done almost everything they can to keep the rivalry within four lines. The impeccable behavior of the fans of both teams so far has shown that we have found a response.
Let’s hope that athletes, coaches, ESAKE, EEC, KED, media and anyone else who lives by “supporting” the sport and also the product called basketball, will also stand up to their standards, unlike in recent years.
Happy playoffs to all and may the best win in the end
