The question of who is the greatest player in EuroLeague history has been a recurring debate over the years.
Eurohoops spoke with Dejan Bodiroga, three-time EuroLeague champion (2000, 2002, and 2003), about who he considers to be the EuroLeague GOAT. The Euroleague president mentioned a legend of Panathinaikos and Greek basketball.
“It’s a difficult question”, Bodiroga answered. “Because every decade has its star players, but for me (Dimitris) Diamantidis was one of the biggest Euroleague stars”, he said to Eurohoops.
“Because of the importance and influence in his team… and I’d say Diamantidis”, he concluded.
Dimitris Diamantidis has won 3 Euroleague titles (2007, 2009, and 2011), in addition to being the MVP of the competition in 2011. He also won the Final Four MVP twice (2007, 2011) and has won nine Greek league titles in his career.
