About that time he was heard by the author singing, while jumping up and down 
like a small child:

"Kipello, kipello, kipello emis, ki esi lae tou Ari na pas na ..."

Then president of PAOK, Giorgos Pandelakis, offered on behalf of the team 
500,000 drachmas (definitely less than $10,000 in 1984) to all players 
together as a bonus for winning the Cup.  It was not before 1987 that Greek
basketball moved up to a different financial level that made such monetary
amounts sound like peanuts.
