Papanikolaou: fans waited until 5am
This is what Olympiacos means. Kostas Papanikolaou summed it up after the Euroleague triumph over Real Madrid: fans were still gathered at 5 in the morning, waiting for the team to return. "This is Olympiacos," he said (3). The image captures everything about this title run, a club and its people inseparable, celebrating a fourth European crown.
Fourier named Euroleague MVP
Evan Fourier took the MVP honours for the final, delivering when it mattered most against Real Madrid (5). The French guard was central to the game plan and delivered the kind of performance that defines careers.
Joseph joins exclusive club
Cory Joseph entered rarefied air with this title. He's now one of the few players with both an NBA championship ring and a Euroleague trophy. The last to achieve that double was Kostas Antetokounmpo (2) (4).
What comes next: the roster puzzle
The celebrations are still ongoing, but planning is already underway. The club is eyeing a double move for Montero and Miller-McIntyre, while decisions loom on Peters' future and Bartzokas' continued project (1).
Fan reactions
Every thread is drenched in euphoria. Fans are calling this the sweetest of the four Euroleague titles, partly because of the 2023 final heartbreak against the same opponent, partly because the team looked utterly dominant. The recurring theme: this group was simply different. Join the conversation on r/OlympiacosBC
