The response of the “Basketball First” combination to PSAKK: “Take the trouble to read our program”

Does the PSAKK not consider the absence of young athletes who stand out in this category problematic?

Doesn’t he worry that most of the teams that win promotion on the field are either disbanded or relegated, so jobs are lost?

Wasn’t anyone disturbed by the way last year’s A2 ended and how the hard work of one team’s athletes went to waste because the EEC management chose to do so?

Was he not concerned about the punishment by FIBA ​​of his member?

Didn’t he care about the fact that members questioned him for two days, about their team’s possible participation in the bet? Didn’t they find a word to say about it?

Didn’t he care about the increase in foreigners in the Basketball League?

Is it a collective decision, or should we blame it on the president of the organization, Lino Chrysikopoulos, who also happens to be a Prometheus player?

Are they unrelated events?

However, it was never said by any of us that older athletes should not play. We criticized the lack of new players and the simultaneous lack of competition in the division, but we are responsible for what we say, not for what some perceive.

Our own combination is full of players, who starred for years (like Giannis Bourousis whom you mentioned in your announcement), but that did not stop them from anxious for the next day of Greek basketball. We don’t (alas) ban anyone from playing as many years as they want.

We struggle because we do NOT see new kids taking the lead.

We are not looking for crutches.

We recorded the incomprehensible reaction of PSAKK. Each of us, primarily the leader of the combination, is judged for his words and actions.

Each of you is also judged for your positions, for selective sensitivity and above all for the confusion of the attributes (of the player and the president of the union body).

We never told you to hang up your shoes. We never set an age limit. Our program is a false witness.
