For all American NBA fans who keep call me stupid and liar and that Spanoulis "suck" and who argue it is lie that Van Gundy on purpose ruin him because he not like him this is for you. I have been tell you idiots all along Spanoulis is most capable player I have seen in Europe even above Manu but always am called idiot and liar. This is what Team US top scout say about him and also he explain the level of Greek players and team. All American fans here is bash Greek players and call me liar. Also make fun of me and call me liar that coach Giannakis is much better than US coaches in NBA.
Also call win over US "fluke" but you will learn. You will learn all these jokes you make soon about Greek players. Team US scout is obvious impress at level of Greek players.

Here is FIBA translation for non Greek speakers (they have better English than me)
During the Olympic qualifying tournament in Athens Tony Ronzoni was there to evaluate or spy the Greek team, sent officially by USA Basketball. He gave a short interview to some media and here are some interesting points:
"This Greek team is better than 2006 but this time we are working to be well prepared. The Greek players are playing such a long time together that they have developed an incredible chemistry with each other. That is the job of an excellent coach. There are about 10 equal players within the team and each and every one of them can take the lead at any moment during the game. I was very impressed with the plain mentality that all players as a priority try to pass the ball to secure an easy hit. This is great. Our team has to work on that, most of our players are thinking in NBA terms and they try to finish themselves.
Our players of course are very athletic and very good on one to one but sometimes this style of offense can be premature. I believe we should follow carefully the style of the Greek team as I believe it has become a basketball school with it's own style with every new generation of player getting better. In defense the Greek team has this unique ability to apply an extreme full pressing in all areas with devastating effect to the opponents. They do that superbly without any sign of stress or fear. I believe that Greece will use this defense against Spain or Argentina.
In offense the best of Greece is the perimeter. Spanoulis has improved a lot during the last two years he is two years older and two years better. He can play in any team in the NBA any time he wants to. I do not understand why he refused a contract from San Antonio Spurs last year. He seems not to be afraid of anyone. Diamantidis as well belongs to the NBA. Papaloukas however is the leader of the team whilst Zisis is an extremely mature player. The only disadvantage of the Greek team is that there are not many substitutes for the position 4. Fotsis has passed his game to another level but still this position has not many other options like the rest. All the players they seem to be in incredible form but I want to speak about young Vasilopoulos who is becoming an awesome player.
Now can all NBA American fans that talks this crap they know nothing about shut up? Especially the retard Rockets fans that believes Spanoulis "suck". Any person believe such incredible player suck is fool.
Also call win over US "fluke" but you will learn. You will learn all these jokes you make soon about Greek players. Team US scout is obvious impress at level of Greek players.
