Printezis grew up playing basketball alongside the old offices of his beloved club Olympiacos at an open asphalt court.
He joined the first team 8 years ago and since then, he has carved out an exceptional career.
After a breakout season during his stint with Olympia Larissa on loan from Olympiacos, Printezis has returned to the Reds and was a starter in 2008.
A powerful and fearless forward with great moves near and under the basket, he left Olympiacos last summer to take the opportunity of acquiring international experience with Unicaja Malaga.
After his freak injury at the beginning of the season during an ACB game in late November, Giorgos came back even stronger than before.
He is the man who can change the odds under the basket as he is not afraid to fight in the paint even against much stronger and taller opponents.
The kind of weapon every coach dreams of having in his team.
