 The Final Four excitement continued to grow Wednesday as all the teams arrived in at the headquarters hotel in Athens for a weekend stay, at the end of which one of them will be Euroleague Basketball champion for 2006-07.
Hordes of media were on hand to greet the defending champions, CSKA Moscow, who arrived first at the Athens airport. Shortly after, Final Four newcomer Unicaja landed, quickly followed by another Spanish team, Tau Ceramica, which is making its third consecutive Final Four appearance.
Meanwhile Panathinaikos made its way to the headquarters hotel after finishing its evening practice at Athens Olympic Indoor Hall (OAKA), where the semifinals get the basketball action started on Friday.
All four teams were in good spirits and eager to take the floor. But first a day of festivities awaits on Thursday, with a visit to the Agia Sophia Children's Hospital in conjunction with Euroleague Basketball's charity campaign with UNICEF, the opening press conference at the Athens Concert Hall at Megaron and official practices later in the afternoon.
