He was also the captain of the senior men's Greek national basketball team. He is a 2.09 m (6 ft 10 ¼ in) power forward, who can also play as a small ball center, or even as a small forward, if needed. He goes by the nickname of "Batman" since his adolescent years, when his co-players at junior national teams named him after the well-known comic-strip figure, because of his tendency/ability to be an overwhelmingly gliding presence above the basketball rim.〔(Euroleague.net Spanoulis interview. )〕 He is a good shot blocker, a top offensive rebounder, and an excellent 3-point shooter, especially for a power forward. He is very physical on the defensive end, due to his athleticism. ==Professional career== Born in Maroussi, Athens, Fotsis began his career as one of the biggest European prospects. Fotsis began his professional career in 1996 with the Greek League club Ilysiakos. He quickly earned a reputation as a very talented young player when playing in senior national team. He then transferred to the Greek club Panathinaikos (PAO) in 1997 just at the age of sixteen. It is a fact of significant importance that he started his career as a point guard and later moved to the small forward and then power forward positions. Due to his early guard playing status, he was later always recognized as one of the best power forwards in Europe, regarding basketball technique. While being the most dominant-youth aged talent in Greece at the time, he twice participated in the Nike Hoop Summit All-World Team (1998, 1999). He got little playing time in his first 2 seasons with Panathinaikos, but he managed to become one of the team's key players during the 1999-00 season. With Panathinaikos, he won the Euroleague championship that same season while being barely nineteen. One year later, he became a starter on the Panathinaikos team that made it to the FIBA SuproLeague finals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antonis Fotsis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
