Whatever he touches becomes gold!
At 26 years of age, he has won six titles (European and Greek championships) and five medals with the junior National Selections.
Kostas Papanikolaou returned to Piraeus in January 2016 aiming to once again celebrate winning titles with Olympiacos.
The energy he brings to both ends of the floor and his 'killer' triple are his brand elements that make him a necessity for any team.
