Georgios Printezis

Georgios Printezis, Greek basketball player
Georgios Printezis (alternate spelling: Giorgos) (Greek: Γεώργιος Πρίντεζης, born February 22, 1985) is a Greek professional basketball player and the team captain for Olympiacos of the Greek Basket League and the EuroLeague. Printezis won back to back EuroLeague titles with Olympiacos in 2012 and 2013. His game-winning shot against CSKA Moscow at the end of the 2012 EuroLeague Final, off an assist from Vassilis Spanoulis, is one of the all-time highlights in the history of the EuroLeague.

He earned an All-EuroLeague First Team selection in 2017. While representing the senior Greek national team, Printezis was instrumental in the national team's bronze medal run at the 2009 EuroBasket.
