For every basketball player, for every
fan of the sport as well, the National Basketball Association (NBA)
championship is inhabited by mythical players: Michel Jordan, Magic
Jonhson, Saquille O Neal, Karim Abdul Jahbar, Larry Bird, Scotty Pipen,
Curt Champerlain, are names that cause deep respect in our side of the
Atlantic. The Europeans who receive an invitation for this very
exclusive club are strictly selected by the highly professional American
clubs. One of the very few Greeks basket players who were invited to
join the NBA championship, Andreas Glyniadakis plays with the Seattle
Supersonics and represents Greece and Crete.
Andreas was born in 1981, his height is 2.15 meters and he started his
career with the team of “Kydon” in Chania, at the age of 10. His talent
soon impressed the recruiters of Panathinaikos, the most important Greek
team. His career took off, he was called to Greece’s national team of
under 21 and besides Panathinaikos he played as a professional with the
teams of AEK and Panellinios. In 2004 he crosses the Atlantic to join
the Detroit Pistons first, then the Atlanta Hawks, before joining the
Seattle Supersonics.
