The “Basket First” combination of Panagiotis Fasoula and Yiannis Bourousis will support the veteran centre, Dimitris Mavroidisin the upcoming elections of the Hellenic Basketball Federation.
The announcement of the combination:
“The combination “Basket First” proudly announces the partnership of Panagiotis Fasoulas and Yiannis Bourousis with Dimitris Mavroidis, in the fight for the big victory.
Not an electoral victory, but a basketball victory!
Dimitris Mavroidis does not need special introductions. From 2002, when he started his career in Peristeri, until May 5, 2023, when he announced that he was hanging up his jersey, he served as a basketball player. Member of the Olympiakos team that won the Euroleague (2013) and the AEK team that won the Basketball Champions League (2018), he participated in all the small National teams, as well as 36 appearances in the Men’s National Team».
“I may not be a candidate for formal – and only – reasons, but that doesn’t stop me from standing next to two huge athletes, two people whom I highly appreciate. Panagiotis and Giannis have a vision for basketball, a vision for the Federation. We shared it, and it’s true that we didn’t have to discuss much, to find an absolute alignment of opinions. I join the battle, for turning the page on the EEC, not changing its administration. I will give all my strength for the combination, for the victory, to raise the basketball and take it where it deserves“, said Dimitris Mavroidis.
“Dimitris is one of the best guys who have passed through our area. The fact that he served as an athlete for 21 years in basketball speaks volumes. It is important to have people with us who know the sport, who have an opinion. I welcome him to our combination“, he argued Panagiotis Fasoulas.
“We have a close friendship with Dimitris. However, this was not the element that led us to come together. We have a common understanding of basketball, of what needs to change, of what needs to be fixed. His participation makes us all better. I believe this is the beginning, the whole basketball world will be convinced by the purity of our proposal and together we will make basketball our national sport again“, emphasized Yannis Bourousis.
