For Printzis, the Euroleague said: “A natural winner with great flexibility and know -how, George Printezis undoubtedly achieved the most iconic shot in the history of the Euroleague. His Baseline Floater with 0.7 seconds left allowed Olympiacos to beat CSKA Moscow 61-62 in the 2012 Euroleague final, with the “reds” returning from -19 in the last 13 minutes. A lifelong fan of Olympiacos, Prindezis joined the “reds” in 2001 and completed his first term with the club in 2009. After two seasons with Malaga, Prindezis returned to Olympiacos, where he played until his retirement.

In 17 seasons at Euroleague with Olympiacos, Prindezis reached six Final Four, winning successive Euroleague titles in 2012 and 2013, as well as two finals in 2015 and 2017. Having retired in 2022, Printzis is in the 10th place of all time (3,599). It was selected in the first All-Euroleague 2016-17 team and also arrived at the Euroleague 2010-20 All-Decade team. In September 2024, Olympiacos withdrew his jersey with No. 15, calling “A Moment To Remember” in relation to his shot to win the championship against CSKA. “

For Bodiroga, the Euroleague said: “Dejan Bodiroga is one of the best examples of what European basketball has to do. An outstanding scorer with a spooky perception of the game is one of the most complete basketball players in the history of the game. During a career that took off in the 1990s and then culminated in the Euroleague parquet floor between 2001 and 2007, the Serbian striker achieved what no one has done before or after him.

He is the only player in Euroleague history that has led two different clubs to Euroleague titles as a Final Four MVP in a continuous season. He was first with Panathinaikos in 2002 and after a year later with Barcelona. Bodiroga played for a season at the Euroleague with the Greens and three with Barcelona before he finished his career in Roma in the 2006-07 season. He was selected in the Euroleague 2000-10 All-Decade Team and his 16.1 points per game in 100 appearances rank him in fifth place of all time. “
