He was a member of the Lithuania national basketball team that won a bronze medal in Barcelona's 1992 Summer Olympics.

This time, he was much more success - under Krapikas, Žalgiris played great defence - and had a solid season in the Euroleague in 2014-2015, making the Top16 phase.

By the 2015-2016 season, however, the magic had worn off - the results were poor, especially in the Euroleague, and Krapikas resigned under much pressure in January, 2016.

In 2018, Krapikas signed with the Nanjing Monkey Kings of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).

On 11 April 2022, Krapikas returned to Žalgiris Kaunas as an assistant coach under Kazys Maksvytis.
