CSKA Greek playmaker Theodoros Papaloukas became the finalist of Eurobasket-2005. His team achieved the right to play in the main game of the tournament in the dramatic duel with France.
Greece was seven points behind with only 47 seconds remaining. It looked like everything was over for Hellenes. But they did an impossible job – and Papaloukas (10 pt) took an important part in their comeback. He made a successful jump shot and hit both free-throws cutting French lead to only one point. And then Diamantidis scored from beyond the arc territory and brought a win to Greece.
Tomorrow Hellenes will have an opportunity to gain their first European champions title since 1987. We wish good luck you and your teammates, Theo! Your goal is more than just praiseworthy!
