As a star player, the big man from Greece is best known for his playing days with Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. Sofo, as he's known, played twice there - first, during the 2010-12 seasons, and then during the 2013-2015 seasons - for a combined total of four years.

The former player tells that despite it, the worst comment he's ever received from a fan comes from Israel.

"The only comment I can single out is the one they gave me when I was playing in Israel," he said during the Greek SKAI TV morning show. "Someone said something really bad to me. We finished a match between teams with a lot of animosities and one [fan] came back and said 'I'm going to rape your daughter and your son'."

Schortsanitis became a EuroLeague champion with Maccabi in 2014 and won three Israeli titles in 2011, 2012, and 2014.
