Antic about Printezis and the Presidents! (vid)
Pero Antic could not miss the great celebration of Giorgos Printezis.
The former player of Olympiacos spoke exclusively for the camera of OlympiacosBC TV and sang hymns for the captain and the Presidents, Panagiotis and Giorgos Angelopoulos, saying that they should all three have their statues erected!
Asked how his daily life was with «Pri», he replied: «Funny and exciting! Each day had something new to offer. We were sharing the same position and that was very hard for me. You realize that, no? Giorgos is one of the best '4's' to have ever played in Europe, especially offense wise. His signature shot that gave us the Euroleague shows a lot. He's an unbelievable person first and foremost. An unbelievable 'brother', unbelievable friend. It was an honor to have shared the same court, locker rooms and bench with him! We shared a lot off the court as well, because we were a big family».
When asked for ... revelations, he pointed out: «Whatever happened in the locker room, stayed there! But if you know Giorgos, you would know that there are lots to tell! He's one of a kind. He deserves this night; he deserves tomorrow night (i.e. today) even more. It will be an honor to be part of this great event. Last year it was for Vassilis Spanoulis, the next one will be for Papanikolaou. Don't forget that».
About what it means for the Olympiacos' organization to honor players that have given the team so much, he said: «I have always been and will continue to be a part of the family of Olympiacos. I want to say that the Angelopoulos family deserves to have their statues erected. Because thay have been investing lots of money to make many people happy to raise the level of basketball. I see upgrades each year. And they go on... Yesterday they signed Fournier. They are building something big and we are going to witness it in the final for the trophy».
