The tension between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos during the Greek Basket League Finals doesn’t end.
Following the quotes from both teams’ representatives about what happened in Game 3 at OAKA and Ergin Ataman harshly answering back, now Olympiacos has announced a stir-causing initiative.
The red-and-white team has officially filed a complaint against Kendrick Nunn, as they announced.
“Olympiacos filed a complaint against athlete Kendrick Nunn because during Game 3 of the Stoiximan GBL Finals, he attacked and tried to hit the referee Mr. Giorgos Theonas,” the press release said.
Olympiacos also added in their official statement the video framing the reaction by Kendrick Nunn over a missed call. The American guard wanted to earn a foul as he attacked the basket against Thomas Walkup with forty seconds to go. He also scored in the same play.
“The video of the match and the photos that follow constitute irrefutable evidence and were submitted to the sports judge,” Olympiacos announced as well.
With Georgios Bartzokas’ team up 2-1 in the series, Game 4 could be decisive to crown Olympiacos champions of Greece. The clash is scheduled to take place on Sunday at Peace and Friendship Stadium.

Olympiacos has also submitted an official complaint against Panathinaikos, citing two separate incidents involving head coach Giorgos Bartzokas — one during halftime and another at the end of the game.
“At halftime, a person sitting next to the tunnel of the stadium pushed him, while another person — or possibly the same — appeared to make an obscene gesture toward him.
At the end of the game, again in the same spot, an object was thrown at the Olympiacos coach.
All videos have been made available to the Greek police, who have been asked to identify the individuals involved and to take all necessary actions, including referral to the Greek judicial system, in accordance with sports law“, as announced by Olympiacos.
Olympiacos has also reported Dimitris Giannakopoulos for new posts on his personal Instagram account.
