I remember the first time I stepped onto the pitch. I was standing in the corner trying to find out where I was.<\/p>\n<p>Human bonds, respect, are above everything, even the trophies I won. I didn&#8217;t expect any of this when I came here in 1996-97. I was lucky to grow up with Olympiacos and those feelings stayed with me.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Bartzokas helped me a lot with my athleticism. I will always remember his influence.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Sfairopoulos believed in me even when I was injured. We achieved a lot together and I really appreciated his support.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like the highest paid player ever, not financially, but because of the love you fans have given me and continue to give me.<\/p>\n<p>The love you have shown me is unparalleled. I feel very lucky to have experienced it. Thank you all&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgios Printezis gave a touching speech at the ceremony where his number 15 jersey was retired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":403431,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199,249],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-403432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","category-greece"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/09\/Georgios-Printezis-Olympiacos.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403432"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=403432"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=403432"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=403432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
