Euroleague sanctioned the strong man of KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR with a penalty of three games suspension for his team, as well as a fine of 10,000 euros.
Shortly after the announcement of the penalty, Dimitris Giannakopoulos made posts wanting to send his own answer to the organizing authority.
"I just learned that I received a three-game ban from Euroleague because I went behind my team's bench and asked for a foul, wow... I can't go to the match with Valencia, and if we win, I won't be able to go to the Final Four either. Even though I had read it in the morning on sites close to the reds. You know? Communicating vessels? How much do you fear me? Hide behind your masks", the boss of the "green" KAE initially stated and continued:
"Kendrick, Hayes, Kostas, Juancho, Chedi, General (Ataman), Rogga, Mattias, who will bring me the cup to Sounio by car after the victory?"
