In the summer of 2023, when Panathinaikos decided to change course and completely revamp their basketball department, great expectations were set, although few believed that the “Greens” would reach the pinnacle of European and Greek basketball in their first year.

"This man hadn't invented this by himself. I have never been to Petrinja in my life. I was in Glina in 1995 with the Serbian Radical Party. We were there for two days. Mr. Paspalj was sitting in the audience then, so it was then that I saw him for the first time," Vucic said.

Dallas, led by Doncic, who scored 25 points, beat Popovic's Spars 104: 99.
After the match, Popovic was asked about Doncic, and he dreamed of the Yugoslav national team.

In a bad week for Greek teams in Europe, Olympiakos suffered its first loss in the Euroleague, going down at Barcelona on Friday, after Panathinaikos let victory at Baskonia slip through its fingers on Thursday.

For any team in Europe, a game with Barcelona is a huge challenge. The more so for Olympiacos who is still looking for a good start since the beginning of the season and comes after a defeat from Panathinaikos.

Olympiacos was excellent, during the game keeping Barcelona at a safe distance and having a few good moments for a goal.

Panathinaikos are leading their arch rivals Olympiakos (41-39) at the end of the fist half in the second match of their best of 5 series in the finals for the Greek basketball league. The series is 1-0 for the champions.

Panathinaikos won the Greek Cup semi-final match against arch-rivals Olympiakos in Piraeus (77-67) to advance to the basketball final. The greens broke a 6-match drought against Olympiakos in all the competitions.
