Author of one of the EuroLeague's greatest moments
Printezis and Spanoulis delivered one of the most iconic plays in EuroLeague history. Down by one in the 2012 championship game and with a few seconds left, Spanoulis found a wide-open Printezis near the baseline. Printezis hit his trademark one-handed floater with 0.7 left, giving Olympiacos a 61-62 lead against CSKA Moscow. When CSKA did not score on the final play, Olympiacos had completed a 19-point comeback in the final 12 minutes to win its second EuroLeague title and its first in 15 years.
Printezis's jersey retirement celebration was the highlight of the night, labelled as "A Moment to Remember", at Peace and Friendship Stadium. It also featured a friendly game between Olympiacos and Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, and a gala dinner on Thursday night full of basketball VIPs.
