Yurt7 is one of the best players for Panathinakos who are in the Greek championship v Olympiakos. That he is playing in Greece is interesting in and of itself, given that many Greeks are no not at all fond of Turks given the history.

Series tied 1-1 but temporarily suspended due to violence and related issues. Game 3 now TENTATIVELY rescheduled for Friday. Panathinakos owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos thrown out of game 2 via force at halftime following heated exchange with refs with security teams from both teams coming to blows and fighting each other. Head coach Ergin Ataman was ejected in the fourth quarter. Giannakopoulos then went on IG and accused the govt and Olympiakos of corruption Prime minster of Greece and owner of Olympiakos are very close friends and in each other's weddings. Both owners summoned to the Greek Govt Sports Minister today.

My daughter was at Game 1 and said it was the most active passionate fan base she has ever seen live in a sporting event.
