He won a great 78-72 victory over him in the 15th basketball League and “hug” the ultimate home advantage for the “fight” of the champion’s title in Greece. With top players of Jerian Grant and Chedi Osman, Panathinaikos covered all the many players absent, to double his wins over Olympiacos and to “seal” essentially the first place in the Basket League ranking. CORVERSE Erkin Ataman’s team was “shattered” after a series of injuries and losses in the Euroleague, to “throw” the most fashioned team in Europe and become the… boss during the regular league duration. Jerian Grant: “Diamond” shone again at OAKA Panathinaikos has made over the last two years a series of star transfers, creating one of the most impressive rosters of all time, but the greatest of all remains Jerian Grant. Erkin Ataman found a unique “ diamond” in Eurocup and brought it to OAKA, changing the data in the team, and throughout Europe. The American guard was the… second MVP of the “trifle” in the shadow of Costas Slouka in last year’s conquest of the Basket League and Euroleague, reminiscent of “computer” in all his team games. CORVERSE Grant does what Panathinaikos needs every time and against Olympiacos he did everything, since to cover the absences of his teammates, he came out in front of both defense and attack. The 32-year-old American gave the signal from the start of the race and scored 18 points, adding 4 steals, which set the foundations for his team’s victory. Chedi Osman: The Turkish NBA star is here Panathinaikos threw “bomb” with the acquisition of Chedi Osman last summer, after having acquired a real NBAer, with Turkish forward returning to Europe after 7 years in the world’s top basketball league, where he had almost 500 entries and 200 as a starting point. His start in Panathinaikos, however, was not equivalent to his reputation, as it took a few months to get used to the new data and specificities of European basketball. The event left him in… second rank to the “greens”, but Erkin Ataman knew him well from the national Turkish and gave him the time he needed to raise his performance. Osman thus appears in the last games, completely improved and is consistently the leading Panathinaikos, even in defeats, such as the two consecutive games in Spain with Barcelona and Baskonia. He took the baton from Grant and with 18 points and 6 rebounds, he was the one who “sealed” the victory for his team.
