GEORGE ZAKKAS

Travel and basketball have been the two constants throughout my professional journey. As a journalist with SDNA since day one and a presenter at Amerikanos24tv, I cover the international basketball scene on a daily basis, while also having worked at major events such as the FIBA World Cup and the Basketball Champions League. At the same time, I have been covering Panathinaikos on a daily basis for the past decade. I am part of the “Magic Euroleague” show and, since 2023, I have been co-hosting and co-creating “UpTempo”, focusing on the EuroLeague and the journeys of Panathinaikos and Olympiacos throughout the season. Sports betting analysis is also part of my everyday workload. This profession has given me the opportunity to visit dozens of countries, combining the journalistic coverage of major tournaments and games with the exploration of different cultures. Lucky me!
