The only thing that Papanikolaou would change in Printezis and the… threat of Spanoulis!

THE Giorgos Printezis lives his big night at SEF, with Kostas Papanikolaou and Vasilis Spanoulis to honor their former teammate with their presence.

Its current leader Olympiakou praised the veteran forward, stating among other things how “the only thing I would change about you is the… wool.”

Earlier, he had said how “Georgos is a special chapter in my life. He showed me the way in many things, most of them about life, not about basketball. He is a real man, with such a big heart. He wants people, friends, to share what he has in his heart, because it is so big that it covers Karaiskakis and SEF”.

De Spanoulis, shared some special moments from his joint journey with Printezis, commenting, with a lot of humor, about his legendary five-pointer in Istanbul that “he’s very lucky he scored the basket because otherwise he wouldn’t get a pass from me again”!

The federal technician said in detail: “Congratulations to the presidents who honor the history of Olympiakos and to the world who honors the athletes as only he knows. George and I have experienced so much. Very lucky he scored in Istanbul because otherwise he wouldn’t have taken a pass from me again. Well done, you saved us.

Excellent player who knew how to lead. Such a player rarely comes to Europe. In the blink of an eye I could find him directly on the field. We have a great relationship because of his character. What we experienced will forever be in my heart. Grateful for the successes but mostly for the failures, for the hours I used to praise him. He deserves every accolade, he’s a great person and player and I’m blessed to have had him in my career.”
