Charalampopoulos starred in the Dunk Competition getting the first place with some impressive dunks! And he was present at the Press Conference at the end of the game: "I am very happy for the title. I believe that we all enjoyed the competition. I haven't really worked hard on the dunks I presented. I have chosen a couple of them, giving it a try after practice, but I can't really say that I practiced hard on that".
Asked if he admires someone regarding his dunking skills, the answer was rather easy: "In the team I belong, it's tough to find someone not to admire. They all can fly. When for example you see Gist what can you really say? And it's not just Gist! But it's definitely not what characterizes my game, or me as a player. I would like to do more thing on the court, to be a more complete player".
