Euroleague CEO Jordi Bertomeu is present in “OAKA arena” for the “Diamonds are Forever” tournament in honor of Dimitris Diamantidis. And as specifically said… his presence was nothing less than necessary.

“He is Dimitris! I needed to be here and I am very happy that I managed to be here. We grew up as a tournament with Dimitris. He is one of the Euroleague legends. It is our pleasure to be here.”

Panathinaikos owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos praised Dimitris Diamantidis for creating new fans of the Greens!

“The club is above everyone. But there are some people that truly breed Panathinaikos fans. What I’ll remember more than the titles you have won with the team is how many children became Panathinaikos fans because of you.”

Two of the most iconic and successfull executives in the history of European basketball, Pavlos Giannakopoulos of Panathinaikos and Simon Mizrahi, of Maccabi Tel Aviv had a warm greeting, before honoring Diamantidis themselves.
