Timeline
Sofoklis Schortsanitis (Greek: Σοφοκλής Σχορτσανίτης; born 22 June 1985) is a Greek former professional basketball player and Olympian.
Schortsanitis began playing professional basketball with Iraklis in the 2000–01 Greek League season.
Starting in the 2002–03 Greek League season when he was 17, he averaged 11.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per league game.
His performance record would be a failure in Cantù's 2003–04 season, in the Italian League; he lacked maturity and experience.
He would return to Greece to play in the 2004–05 season with the Greek club Aris.
In the 2005–06 season, Schortsanitis was transferred to Olympiacos.
He became a vital member of the team that reached the EuroLeague quarterfinals, and his performances impressed Panagiotis Giannakis, who picked him for the Greece men's national basketball team at the end of the season.
He was a member of the Greece men's national basketball team that captured silver medal honours in the 2006 FIBA World Championship and a bronze medal in the EuroBasket 2009.
He is nicknamed "Big Sofo" or "Baby Shaq".
Born in his native port town of Tiko, Cameroon, Schortsanitis moved to his father's native country of Greece with his mother when he was very young.
He has a younger brother called Alexandros.
Schortsanitis first took up basketball in his home city of Kavala.
It was there where his parents advised him to play basketball, and Schortsanitis at first did not like the sport.
But eventually the game grew on him, he was always practicing.
Eventually, a scout/coach discovered his talent, and pushed him into the sport.
During the following two years, Schortsanitis failed to achieve consistency, and his chronic weight issues reemerged, to the point that he spent almost the entire 2007–08 season dealing with them.
He came back in shape for the 2008–09 season, and helped Olympiacos reach the EuroLeague Final Four.
In the 2009–10 season, he made another step towards consistency, displaying his most mature performances with Olympiacos, on the club's way to the EuroLeague Final, which they lost to Juan Carlos Navarro's and Ricky Rubio's Barcelona, 86–68.
On 5 August 2010, Schortsanitis signed a two-year deal with the then five-time EuroLeague champions, Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League.
Schortsanitis averaged 12 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1 assist per game throughout the EuroLeague 2010–11 season, earning an All-EuroLeague First Team selection.
An All-EuroLeague First Team selection in 2011, Schortsanitis won the EuroLeague title in 2014 with Maccabi Tel Aviv, and reached the EuroLeague Final in 2010 and 2011, while playing for Olympiacos and Maccabi, respectively.
In the 2011–12 season, Schortsanitis fought a chronic knee injury, which affected his performance during the season, and left him unable to participate with the national team that summer.
Nevertheless, he helped Maccabi reach the EuroLeague quarterfinals, where they were topped by Panathinaikos, losing the series, 3–2.
On 4 July 2012, Schortsanitis signed a three-year contract with the Greek club Panathinaikos, worth €1.5 million euros net income.
He reportedly turned down significantly more lucrative offers from Baskonia Vitoria and Galatasaray, among others, to return to Greece and fulfill his desire to play for Panathinaikos.
In July 2013, Panathinaikos announced that Schortsanitis would not continue play for the club.
On 10 July 2013, Schortsanitis returned to Maccabi after one season in Panathinaikos, and signed a three-year contract with the defending Israeli Premier League champions.
In his comeback season with Maccabi, the club won the finals of that season's EuroLeague, which was the first EuroLeague championship won in Schortsanitis' career.
Over 29 games played in the EuroLeague that season, he averaged 9.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, in 14.2 minutes per game of playing time.
On 2 August 2015, Schortsanitis signed a one-year contract with the Serbian club Crvena zvezda.
On 28 October 2015, he parted ways with Zvezda.
In 6 games played with the club in the ABA League's 2015–16 season, he averaged 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
On 2 November 2015, Schortsanitis signed with the Greek club PAOK, for the rest of the season.
With PAOK, he averaged 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, in the European-wide 2nd-tier level EuroCup's 2015–16 season.
In December 2016, Schortsanitis joined the Greek club Apollon Patras.
However, on 28 December, he suffered a serious injury, as he ruptured his Achilles tendon, during one of the team's practices.
The injury caused him to then miss the entire remainder of the Greek Basket League 2016–17 season, and he was thus not able to play in any games with Apollon.
On 18 October 2017, Schortsanitis returned to action, and joined Aries Trikala of the Greek Basket League, for the 2017–18 season.
On 6 January 2018, he made his debut in a 76–86 loss to Rethymno Cretan Kings, recording 6 points and one rebound, off the bench.
