Leo - German or Greek?

Figured this needed it's own thread. Plus, I need to buy the proper flag to replace my Aussie flag.

While he may technically be a German citizen, he is obviously of Greek heritage:

2015-16: Spent the season with the Iraklis Thessaloniki B.C. in Thessaloniki, Greece… Saw action in eight games.

Prep: In 2013, helped his team to the gold medal at the TURK Telekom U16 Tournament in Sakarya, Turkey… Is an active member of PAOK Basketball Club in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Personal: Leonidas “Leo” Kontopoulos was born in August of 1997… From Frankfurt, Germany… Parents are Elferia and Konstantinos Kontopoulos… Has three siblings, two brothers and a sister… Brother Grigoris was a rower.

So he's like the late night Gyro you pick up on the way home from the Hofbra├╝haus? It's Greek but from Germany?

He is Greek. He is dual citizens with Greece. Greece is better.

Greece for beaches and Ouzo. Germany for beer and well engineered motorcars.

If they start serving Paulaner at Moody, I will go with German.

Perhaps we could get Dirk to a game if we had a good German Weiss Beer on tap...

Who the hell cares where he's from? Can he ball?

[SMUer]

You mean: "Can he kugel?"

In other words, is he a kugelmeister?

Nice turnaround jumper to get on the board last night.

Considering his height I think he's got decent coordination-maybe in a couple of years of development he might get some playing time
