Euro League
When he was 10 years old, Sloukas searched for sweets in the closet and played secret electronic games.
Thessaloniki and Halkidiki. Basketball, kids on TV and… illegal electronics. Toast with butter and honey. Walks with dad and food from mom’s hands. Costas Sloukas recalled what happened in his life when he was 10 years old.
Twenty years ago Costas Sloukas came back and remembered from his recollection of all the childhood memories of what he did when he was 10 years old. Olympiacos went back in time and asked the 31-year-old point guard what he did, how he lived and what exactly he remembers from his childhood.
