Hi, to all you fans of basketball and of the Euroleague!

Although it's something completely new to me, something different, my response to Euroleague's request to become one of the bloggers of the competition could only be positive. I feel almost the same for the Euroleague itself, since it's just my second year at Panathinaikos and I have played in 13 games so far - from the first one against Bamberg in OAKA last season to the most recent one, our important victory against Siena last week, also in front of our great fans in OAKA.

I feel lucky that I am part of Panathinaikos and with the fact that I have teammates who belong to the elite of European basketball. And the same goes for the coaches, too. Every day working alongside them is like going to school. Every day I learn something new playing with them in the practices or during games. Most important, however, is that we are talking about amazing people. They are there to help you, they are not egoists. It's something that works out only in a positive way regarding our obligations in Greece and also in Euroleague. It's amazing that you have Jasikevicius, for example, next to you, with everything he has done in his career, to make jokes, to talk all the time, to make comments. And it's not only him; all the guys are like this.

With all this travelling we have during the year, it's essential to have a nice atmosphere among us...
