On the courts of Crete, Athens’ “Greens” lifted their second consecutive Greek Cup, confirming a dominance rooted in a steely mentality and a roster built for the biggest stages.
Leading both the fans’ excitement and the analysis of this golden era is Kendrick Nunn. The American guard, increasingly the group’s charismatic leader, emphasized that this victory is the natural outcome of a strategic project driven by excellence.
Speaking to Eurohoops, Nunn explained what makes this group special:
“We are built for games like this. Our roster was put together for moments when the pressure is at its peak. We have the championship DNA, and everyone stepped up—not just in the final, but throughout the tournament.”
Beyond the newly raised trophy, there is another reason the Panathinaikos camp is buzzing: the arrival of Nigel Hayes-Davis. Nunn is convinced that the addition of the former Fenerbahce forward will take the Greens to an even higher level.
“With him, you’ll see an even more balanced Panathinaikos,” Nunn stated. “It could be anyone’s night, which makes us unpredictable. His arrival will take us to the next level.”
Winning the Greek Cup isn’t just an achievement; it’s a message sent to all of Europe. For Nunn, every trophy is a vital building block: “You play to be a champion. Winning tonight means everything—it’s the reason we step onto the court.”
