And he’s not the only one foreseeing a race to the bottom of the classification to get his services. “Victor distorts the reality of basketball. Since last night, it feels like the test has kicked off to a final position like you’ve never seen before. “
Wenbanyama, on the other hand, is intelligent rather than complacent in the face of the commotion that arises, demonstrating intelligence both on and off the field, completely disarming the skeptical. “Even before I started playing basketball, I was trying to do something different.I’m not talking about sports, I’m talking about anything. I like originality and achieve something that has never been done before. “Player says in an interview with APs.

Greek “Panathinaikos” The team faced serious personnel problems due to the flu epidemic.
Eight players and three members of the coaching staff were immediately diagnosed with influenza A with severe symptoms.
Panathinaikos has shown good form in recent matches, but flu A has spread to Greece and has affected the team, which will most likely lead to the postponement of the Greek championship match against Maroussi, scheduled for December 27.
The problem is not only related to the championship match, but also to the derby against Olympiacos in the Euroleague, which is scheduled for January 2, as the epidemic prevents the team’s normal preparations.
Since many players have severe symptoms, no one can say for sure how the disease will progress and when everyone will be healthy.
The names of the sick people have not been disclosed at this time.
