Galis and Alvertis (Panathinaikos) highlights vs CSP Limoges

The 1993-94 season, was the first time EUROPE heard about Panathinaikos Basketball Club since 1981, when Takis Koronaios, Liveris Andritsos and David Stergakos led the team to the Euroleague's (then called champions cup) final stage, eliminating the mighty team of CSKA Moscow.

Actually, it was the 1992-93 season when the powerfull team we all know today, started its creation. And Nick Galis, even being 35, would be the ideal choise for PAO's and the fan's european dream. Along side with Galis, Croatian Legend Stojan Vrankovic and young and Talented Nikos Economou, and the GREAT CAPTAIN, FRAGHISKOS ALVERTIS.

In 1993-94 season, PANATHINAIKOS reached the final four of the euroleague, in Tel Aviv, for the very first time. It was the begining of the golden era of the team. Galis, being 36, was not what he used to be, he could not jump as he did, not dribble as he did, and the fact that he was not as fast as in the past was also very obvious. All those did not prevent Galis to give some memorable spectacles, his last ones in the game. In those two seasons that Galis played for Panathinaikos, was more like a combo-point guard, passing like crazy, while his shooting, improved more than ever. In his best ever performance as a "Green", Galis scored 36 points, shooting 13/13 fg, 10/10 ft and dishing 19 fiba assists (!!!). (against Aris Thessaloniki, his ex-team).


About the game you're watching:

CSP Limoges-Panathinaikos 75-68. Panathinaikos losing to CSP Limoges (Michael Young, Richard Dacoury, Jim Bilba, Frederic Forte and coach Bozidar Maljkovic) in 1993-94 euroleague's quarter finals (GAME 1).

37 year old Galis scoring 24 points against the french (he averaged 23.9 points in the euroleague that year) and dished 3 assists (he averaged almost 5 that season).

22 year old Alvertis scoring 17 points showing some skills, shooting 4/4 for two points, 2/5 for three and 3/4 ft.

Galis and Alvertis were room mates during that era, Galis taught a lot young Frankie, about leadership and professionalism in basketball.

Galis, Alvertis, Vrankovic and Volkov led Panathinaikos safely to the 3rd place in europe that time. It was the best ranking the team ever had in its history, and a great start for a whole new era, that led up to nowdays huge success.

That great success was overshadowed by the fact that the greens lost to Olympiacos Piraeus, the archirivals, in the semis, while nobody ever thought that the reds where a far more experienced team and that by the time, they were considered to be one of the most dominant teams Europe ever saw (even though they lost to DKV Joventut's wonderful basketball tactics, due to the masterful coaching of Zeljko Obradovic).

Next to come...

Galis vs Buckler Virtus Bologna, playing for Panathinaikos in Bologna, scoring 32 on 13/20 shooting (12/18 for two, 1/2 three) and 5/6 fts and dishing 7 (!) assists (his best european appearence with Panathinaikos).

I dunno why Galis couldn't make it to the NBA?

[Skatastamoutrasas]

Sometimes those things just happen. It's destiny. Galis went to the summer camp, but he got a leg injury, so the Boston Celtics did not have the opportunity to watch him play. He could wait one year to participate to the next year's summer camp, but his mother got seriously ill, so he needed money...He decided to come to Greece for a couple of years, to earn some money, and then return, but he never did...

Ευχαριστώ...Δεν έχω την Μπανταλόνα, αλλά θα ανεβάσω το Μπολόνια-Παναθηναϊκός, που κάνει απίστευτα πράγματα...12/18 δίποντα, 1/2 τρίποντα, 7 ασίστ...και απίστευτα ριπλέυ, κάτι που έλλειπε, από τα μεγάλα χρόνια του Νικ...Αλλά λίγα λίγα...Δεν θέλω να τα ανεβάσω όλα μαζί...Το επόμενό που θα ανεβάσω θα είναι το Γκάλης 44 πόντοι έναντι 18 του Ντράζεν στους ομίλους του Ευρωμπάσκετ το 87, γιατί έχουν αρχίσει και μου πρήζουν τα αρχίδια οι Κροάτες...

@simasa2 and if you dont believe us, you can believe Red...

Celtics legend Red Auerbach later said that the single biggest mistake he ever made in his career was not keeping Galis.
