When Panathinaikos started this summer, Panathinaikos made one of the most important transcripts of offseason after acquiring him What a Jay Shortscandidate Euroleague MVP last season.
Beyond the fact that it reinforces one terrible “green” region anyway, the advent of short -lived creates a special condition in his roster Ergkin Ataman. Indeed, the shorts is still one left handedwho is added next to the Costa Sloukas and Kenick Nan!
The left -handed basketball players anyway they are scarce, however, the condition that has been shaped to the Panathinaic is unprecedentedsince he has three ‘Basics’ peripherals shooting with the left.
In fact, the Euroleague He made a tribute to this issue, initially stressing how rare it is that has come to the “clover”, but also how unstoppable the new season can be his team Ataman.
The Euroleague tribute in detail:
THE What a Jay Shorts changed a team this summer to join the Panathinaic taking another step in his personal career.
The 27 -year -old had become king at Parisdriving the team to his crown French leaguein League Cup of France And, perhaps most importantly, in the Eurocup trophy. This triumph at Eurocup, in a season in which the shorts crowned MVP, gave Paris – and to himself – the right to compete in Euroleague for the first time.
Followed by the choice in the best five of Euroleague and the playoffs for the Parisled by shorts, but in Panathinaikos he will have more chances to win a missing title: its championship Euroleague.
Combining the “Greens”, the shorts creates a region that has never seen basketball before, and in particular with three Left -handed Star Guard. Shorts join with four -time Euroleague champion Costa Slouka and the MVP of last season Nan in an unprecedented state of almost any level. Left -handed players are rare and having three tops in the same backcourt could create many advantages.
His followers Panathinaic They are used to the left -handed stars. After all, the Dimitris Diamantidis He is undoubtedly the best left -handed player in Euroleague history. While Manu Ginobili won the EuroLeague title with Virtu Bologna in 2001, he reached the final in 2002 and became a member of the Hall of Fame, he was in Euroleague for only two seasons. THE Diamantidis He became the best Two-way player in the history of the event, drowning his opponents in defense and using the IQ basketball to dominate the game. He won three Euroleague titles, was selected six times as the best defender of the event, was twice MVP in the Final Four and won the MVP title of the season in 2011.
There is more about green and left -handed stars. THE Tairis Rice He had a short term in Panathinaikos but had time to lose 41 points from the opponent Olympic In a 99-91 victory in the extension at OAKA on December 6, 2019. Two-time top scorer Keith Langford He wore the team jersey for the 2018-19 season, his last in the event. THE Yaka Lakovic He played for Panathinaikos from 2002 to 2006, an average of 13.3 points and leading the Greens to the 2005 Final Four. Kay Shi Rivers He also played for Panathinaikos for two seasons. There is a pattern, but nothing exceeds the current situation.
It will be fun to find out how they fit. Should not be a big problem, as the Shorts He is used to playing with left -handed guard after two seasons next to the Nadir Iphi. We must also remember that Sloukas comes off the bench to trigger his team, the coach Ergkin Ataman He has used three guards many times in the past and Nan is the current MVP of the event. It was not uncommon to see their Shane Larkin, Vasilie Michic and Rodrig Bobua Together on the stadium on the glorious days of Anadolu Efes of Constantinople under Ataman. He also did the same in Galatasaray with their Carlos Arojo, Sinan Guler and either Pietro Aradori or Eder Arslan.
The main question, however, for all possible opponents is this: How do you stop this Tricefalo, left -handed basketball dragon?
