It was unique to have two European basketball teams competing in Melbourne when Panathinaikos and Partizan played at John Cain Arena as part of the Pavlos Giannakopoulos Tournament. Melbourne Sports Photography's Craig and Kia were there to photograph the action for a Greek photo agency, busily working between photographing and sending the images during the game.

The Greek and Serbian local communities got behind the event and John Cain Arena was sold out. That made for a fun, dynamic atmosphere.

It was a unique and enjoyable event and so great to see a big crowd supporting the event.
