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."

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I am in no boastful mood. I shall not do more than I can, and I shall do all I can to save the government, which is my sworn duty as well as my personal inclination. I shall do nothing in malice. What I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
