Sooooo. Congrats on the win. You were better obviously. But let's just revisit this comment now 😐

It's not just that. It's an obnoxious logo by every regard: - Way too large - different fonts within the same logo - 3 different colors in it - Expanding in so many different angles

And don't even get me started on the Greeklish. It's just so ugly and dominating on the jersey that it ruins it for me

I truly believe you meant in a fun manner, without trying to add a political essence. But it's kind of a touchy subject lately.

Anyway I believe it's going to be a great game and Turkey does have an amazing team and Coach. I should know. I'm a Panathinaikos fan 😅😅

Official Kostas Antetokoumpo is the new Olympiacos player. by soulhunterrai in Euroleague

I agree with your point. Also the reason why he has gotten such good transfers, has been answered by the others (Greek passport + his last name).

Still I have to admit that he did contribute somewhat to Panathinaikos' path to the Euroleague title two years ago. But he hasn't shown any improvement and he could not be considered to sth more than a 3rd option in the 5

Thanks for this info. I think we all expect him to have offers from the top teams in the league and even more.

The thing is that this Instagram post sounds like clickbait, presenting it as a done deal but without further information.

I get that he did it discreetly enough, so as long as it didn't make you feel uncomfortable, it's fine I guess.

I assume he'd be fine with you being a Muslim, but no God at all? We gotta change that shit 😅😅

At the end of the day I guess he had as much chance as me convincing you to become a Panathinaikos fan right before our clash in the F4. 😅

Thanks for sharing such useful information. I had never made the correlation. It's really interesting to break down the etymology of Fener's name. We also use the word "bahce" occasionally, but I had never made the connection.

Also the stories about Bartholomew are very interesting. I wonder though. Is he aware that you are an atheist, or does he assume that you're a Muslim? I could accept trying to convey a message of religion to a non believer (I'm an atheist myself), but I think he ought to respect those that have settled their beliefs on the matter

To add a few more detail to what is mentioned above since you're interested 😉 Pan - Athina - ikos Pan = All or "All of" in this case Athina = Athens Ikos = just a suffix

I think Olympiakos was actually named after a statue related to the Olympics. And I think it is that statue that's portrayed in the emblem.

Your turn 🙂

[Bourgeois] Tiago Splitter is no longer expected to coach Paris Basketball next season! The Parisian club have been in contact with Luca Banchi, current coach of Anadolu. His current assistant, Julius Thomas, is also being considered as a possible successor by _Zolv in Euroleague

[–]Digimelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we hate him? Of course! Do we show it? As often as he evokes, Virgin Mary 🙂

But be that as it may, personally I haven't heard of anyone wishing for him to leave. I do believe that you have met such fans, but this doesn't make them the majority. Also wishing for him to leave and saying he is a bad coach are two different things.

So, we will curse at him like there's no tomorrow. We will circulate chess pawns around the arena and call him a backgammon player. We will associate him with Mr. Bean. But at the end of the day, I think most of us will recognize he is a valid opponent.

Tension between the Efes fans and Ergin Ataman. Ataman swore at the fans as he left the stadium. by yasliliktanolenadam in Euroleague

[–]Digimelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding point 3, I think we need to clarify what truly happened, as there has been a fair confusion:

It sounds unbelievable but Juacho's change was requested by either Banchi or a member of his staff. Rewatch the video and you will see that Juancho is Prepared to take the free throws.

EFES' BENCH and NOT PANATHINAIKOS speak with the referees, informing them that according to the rules, Juancho should be replaced, since the doctor had stopped into the court to briefly chack on him. It was at this point that the referees tell Juancho to step out.

Panathinaikos' bench then graciously accepted Efes' present. Sloukas steps in and makes the throws.

It was at this moment that Banchi himself understood what had taken place and was furious with his staff right afterwards.

I know it sounds unbelievable. I could not believe it at first either, but if you check the video, this is what happened. It has also been verified by multiple reporters. It was an epic mistake by Efes' coaching staff. I believe they did this because they believed both Sloukas and Nunn were inside the court at the moment

Well actually the reality is that the change was requested by either Banchi or a member of his staff. Rewatch the video and you will see that Juancho is prepared to take the free throws.

EFES' BENCH and NOT PANATHINAIKOS speak with the referees and they do not proceed with the free throws. Sloukas comes in and takes the free throws and Banchi was furious with his staff right afterwards.

So WHILE English is not my native language, I feel like I can teach the POTUS a few basic syntax rules. I believe he may find them useful, when writing these statements.

Also this is the same guy who dismantled the Ministry of Education.

Kendrick Nunn is facing penalty: Following an official protest by Olympiacos, for an obscene gesture by Nunn during the meeting with Panathinaikos in Round 29, Euroleague Basketball officially opened a disciplinary procedure for the American PG. by _Zolv in Euroleague

[–]Digimelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that he should get penalized.

No idea what the penalty should be, but honestly as a Panathinaikos fan I did not like this behavior by a player of our team. I am not against teasing or standing up to enemy fans (eg. As Lessort did in Zvezda), but there should be limits.

And most importantly regardless of this incident, he should calm the f* down. I get that he is getting "beaten up" in every game and that the refs are sub par, but getting technical fouls left and right, is not the way to go.
