Kostas Papanikolaou stressed that national basketball made a fantastic first half, but in the second “speed down”, reacted in the final minutes, stressing that he felt honoring that he is one of the players with the most participation in the representative and the team.
In detail: “We made a fantastic first half, then we” lowered speed “in defense and attack, giving Spain to do what we did in the first part. I am happy that my team reacted in the end, we got a big phases, we put big shots and they make the difference in such a match. So the team gets a boost for the next matches.
It is a great honor to be on the list of great players who played in the national team and be in the top ten entries. I didn’t expect it, I feel blessed. I’m not ready to answer, but I’m glad to have the opportunity to represent my country. I’m proud, it’s a unique feeling to wear this jersey. Since 2005 or 2006 when I started playing for the national teams, I never got it lightly and I always wear the jersey with honor and responsibility. I know what it represents and for me it is something special.
It would be unfair to me to compare every effort that has been made in the national team all these years. What counts is what we do now. Every year everyone was trying, we don’t have to say something smart to comment on the past. “
