Panathinaikos owner renews public interest in signing Nikola Jokic

Panathinaikos owner renews public interest in signing Nikola Jokic

Panathinaikos Aktor owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos has again shown interest in signing Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets center.

He shared an AI-generated image of himself as a toy figure at a desk, considering the cost of bringing Jokic to Athens.

The post was part of a social media trend that turns public figures into Playmobil-style characters.

Giannakopoulos has praised Jokic as one of the greatest players and said he wants him to play for the Greek club.

Jokic has won three NBA Most Valuable Player awards and helped Denver win a championship in 2023.

He also leads Serbia’s national team, but remains a dream target for Panathinaikos.

Giannakopoulos has said money is not the main barrier, and that the NBA system would not allow an active star like Jokic to move to Europe.

No deal or next step has been announced.
