STILLWATER –Lefteris Mantzoukas became a professional basketball player at just 14 years old, the youngest player to start a Greek Basketball League game. And when he was just 14, he said he had a teammate who was 39.
That’ll help you grow up quickly.
Mantzoukas is 22 now and in his first season at Oklahoma State. Despite still being relatively young, there is a sense of the maturity about a guy who has been as serious about basketball as long as Mantzoukas has. He said this move to the United States puts him in a more goal-oriented culture.
