The Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis met with the Greek mens Under 20 basketball team at Maximou Mansion last week in honour of their winning the European Championships in Rhodes.

The Greek Prime Minister was introduced to the members of the squad with whom he exchanged friendly banter.

To demonstrate his love of basketball he exchanged several passes with leading Greek player, George Bogris.

One of the people present at the ceremony commented that “The Greek Prime Minister’s pass was good but needed to be more powerful.”

Karamanlis was given an oversized basketball top signed by all of the players.
