| PANATHINAIKOS |
| Nick Galis, after 13 years of playing in Aris, finally signed to Panathinaikos in 1992-1993 season. He played until 1994, when his third season with the team was ended early, because of him being unpleased by his playing time (he fought with coach Kostas Politis, former Panathinaikos coach, and left the arena). This was his last basketball home, where he could not finally earn any important title. |

| Galis, even being a 35 year old man, continued offering lots of emotions to his fans. His 13/13 fg against AEK, along side with the fact that he was the best passing man in the league for two years, were pretty remarkable (he returned in point guard position after 13 years. In the Year 1992-1993 he served 5,8 assists per game, while in 1993-1994, 5,1. Total: 402 assists in 80 games, averaging 5 per game). |
| In Euroleague, Galis' would still remind everyone, that he was not over yet. Scoring 38 points against Virtus Bologna (by then Buckler, later known as Kinder), he led some italian reporters speaking about a white copy of Michael Jordan. Just for history, that game ended up as a Panathinaikos victory over Virtus (72-85).

| Galis' Euroleague stats were even better. In 1993-1994 season, he was once again the tournaments top scorer, averaging 23,9 ppg and also was first in passing, dishing 5,9 assists per game. We led Panathinaikos in in the final four, that was meant to be his last one, where he scored 8 points against Olympiacos in a bad night for him and his team, and 30 points against Barcelona, in the third place game.

| Galis' last game with Panathinaikos was also his last ever. In 12/10/1994, he played 35 minutes against Dafni and scored 8 points. Those points were the last he ever scored. In the next game against Ampelokipi, Galis did not get any playing time by Pana's coach, Politis. His leaving from the bench and the arena, was the end of his brilliant career. It was the 18th of October, 1994. |
