Hi, I am 37 year old greek born in Düsseldorf and raised in Hamburg. I registered here before but forgot my login data.
I was fascinated by basketball after seeing the U 19 World Championship 1995. I played for a short time in a club, but since I already did badminton twice a week and played tennis once a week, it was a third Sport in a club, so too much. In addition, streetball was the most fun for me, 3 against 3 also did some tournaments with registration fee in Hamburg for fun.
We played all weekends, at night, in the rain, even in winter with snow. Having the good old ghetto blaster with the sounds of Wutang, Cypress Hill, DMX etc. it was a lifestyle.
Greek basketball particularly impressed me after a year in the club, I once again played in Greece Epirus in a mountain village on summer vacation in Greece (no joke: vultures and eagles flew over our court and there were regular snakes and turtles on the court).
I thought I would going to beat them 1 on 1 because I trained in the club, but the most impressive I could offer was my brand new Jordan 12 boots in red-black �� But I was impressed by their talent and the level of technical skill that the children and young people played there. That's why I like also Yugo Players.
My all-time favorite player: Bodigora
What shaped me from overseas: Allen Iverson
I am proud of: many Greek players, the double from Olympiakos, victory against the US All Star Team at the World Cup and a total of 7 Euroleague Cups in the Athens metropolitan area.
Favorite teams: Panathinaikos, Olympiakos, CSKA Moscow
European basketball had always priority for me instead of NBA, so I was pretty much alone under my german colleagues, because at this time everyone in the club and outside only talked about the NBA.
At some point a player from the german second league 2,03m came to play a little streetball in the summer and he then confirmed what I was trying to convey to my colleagues. There are european teams playing very good basketball.
