Sasha Vezenkov became Olympiacos‘ all-time leading scorer in the EuroLeague on Thursday night, capping off a dominant win over Dubai at Sunel Arena.
The 31-year-old forward passed Vassilis Spanoulis for the top spot. Only time will tell where he eventually sets the bar.
Speaking courtside after the buzzer in Round 11 of the 2026–27 EuroLeague Regular Season, Vezenkov reflected on joining the ranks of the club’s greatest icons.
“Two or three weeks ago, when you asked me about Giorgos Printezis, now I have to put my name next to Vassilis, one of the biggest, even the biggest for me in EuroLeague history,” he said. “It’s something special. The most important is the team titles, and I will say that until the end. When I came here, I never even imagined this day to happen.”
He thanked the organization, club presidents, and his family for backing him through both highs and lows, insisting that trophies always outrank personal records. Vezenkov also joked about Spanoulis, who now leads Aris ahead of their domestic matchup this weekend in Round 7 of Greece’s Stoiximan GBL Regular Season. “I know Vassilis is happy about me. He’ll be happy until Sunday afternoon. I know after we’ll not talk for a while, but the most important is the win,” he mentioned.

Turning his attention back to the locker room, he urged the EuroLeague champions to stay steady as they deal with injuries and integrate new faces. “We’re not so good as we showed today, but we’re not so bad as we showed previous Friday. We have to keep consistency. Not too high, not too low,” Vezenkov added, satisfied with how the squad bounced back against a skilled opponent.
