European League Honors: Two European League champions, one of the first team in Europe

No one compares Georgios Printezis. More than 19 years (17 of them spent with the Olympians) – The Greek striker became one of the league's most iconic figures. During this time, Printezis was a fixture on the court, known for its polished footwork and trademark floating. However, none of them are more memorable than the hit he had won the 2012 Europa League final with 0.7 seconds left. (Highly recommend watching TV reviews in Greek).

That was the two consecutive European champions Printezis won the Olympia championship. He will never take over the trophy again, but until he retires in 2022, he remains one of the most important figures of the Olympians. Two years later, the club respected his legacy by retiring his number. In addition to his Europa League honors, Printezis has also made involuntary history in the NBA. He was selected as a second-round late draft pick in 2007, and his draft pick was traded seven times, a record of a player who never signed a contract in the league.
