we are the champions (again)

just came back from a great weekend in athens. social gatherings, catching up with friends, going to bouzoukia till 6:00 am last night and to bed at 8 am, waking up at 11 to have a semi professional meeting today. Lots of good stuff for only 2 days.

But what makes the news is that after 18 years we are european basketball champions again! We won over Germany in the final 78-62 and are happily both football and basketball champion in europe in only one year. 2nd team in basketball history in Europe (after Italy) that has won the cup twice. Our coach, Panayiotis Yiannakis is the only coach that has won the cup both as a player (1987) and as a coach (2005).

i hope this makes a new beginning for sports in whateverland, a.k.a. Greece! In any case, tonite is a night of celebration!
