Personal Life
As well as being the most-crowned player of his generation in Europe, Alvertis is a family man, a father of one son, Carolos, and husband to Anta, a former water polo player whom he sat next to in high school. Off the court, Frankie loves hunting and fishing, likes to play with his dogs and birds, and enjoys a night out with good food at a traditional Greek tavern. He drinks a glass of red wine before performing his favorite zeibekiko. To relax, he prefers a good book, such as "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway, one of his favorites.
"I just love playing basketball, every single moment of it: a shot, a rebound, fighting for good position", Alvertis says. "And I really feel rich in emotions. I am happy to be part of Panathinaikos. I have spent half of my life here."
