The announcement in detail:
“Ioannis Papapetrou announced his decision to withdraw from active action, and EEC President Vangelis Liolios and board members want to thank him for what he has offered during his athletic career, sending the following message:
“John thank you for everything you have offered all these years to the national team and basketball. You were always present whenever your homeland asked for. Even when you were in pain, you tilted your teeth and gave your best. With faith, with self -denial, with morality.
Thank you from heart for everything you have offered and for everything you taught. Unity, respect and altruism. Your decision to stop active action due to your health problem may all have surprised us, but the only sure thing is that basketball needs you. You need you near him. Perhaps from another post, from another glance but with the same values ​​and principles that made you stand out.
Good luck John! “
