Panathinaikos-Olympiacos suspended. Giannakopoulos: I ask Tsipras to punish Spanoulis

The Greek derby between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos was suspended with less than 2’ on the final buzzer when Greens fans attacked the Reds bench.

Olympiacos was winning the game 77-64 when Spanoulis, after a three-pointer, put his hands close to the ears watching the fans of OAKA’s Gate 13 like saying them "I can't hear you anymore"

Spanoulis got a technical foul but in the next timeout Olympiacos players had to rush out of the court because Panathinaikos supporters started to throw objects.

Spanoulis after the game (via Eurohoops): “I didn’t swear, on the contrary I am hearing many things at OAKA. On the heat of the moment I did that gesture. Those who have to regret about something are those who are cursing families and children”.

Panathinaikos’ Dimitris Giannakopoulis, already fined more than €100k by the Euroleague for threatening the referees, attacked Spanoulis (via Eurohoops): “A nobody who came to OAKA 25 times and has left with head low can’t do such things. What he wanted to demonstrate? Why he showed us his ears. I am asking Prime Minister Mr. Tsipras and the deputy minister of sports mr. Kodonis to punish him in order to set an example. Spanoulis doesn’t have a place in Greece and in basketball. He wanted to provoke us”.


Olympiacos posted a video on Youtube where you can hear a voice threatening Spanoulis in the locker room.
