Has their ever been a Greek basketball player as good as Tiago Splitter?

[midnightpulp]

I've searched high and low, near and far, but can't seem to find one, even though a certain member with a profound knowledge of all things Greek claims there is. Think his name is Bursitis or Borealis. If anyone knows of this player, I would appreciate some information so we can possibly do a comparison.

Thank you.

[rayjayjohnson]

Your joke aside, Kosta Koufos is better than Splitter.

[FkLA]

Who is Kosta Koufus ?

[Pelicans78]

Rony Seikaly was way better than Splitter.

[midnightpulp]

Lol, since when is a 3.5 and 3.5 guy better than a 9 and 5 guy?

[midnightpulp]

Rony Seikaly was way better than Splitter.

Born in Lebanon and raised in Greece/U.S. Doesn't count. We're looking for born and raised Greeks here. Besides, they denied Seikaly citizenship. Probably because he wasn't a pedophile.

[ElNono]

Who is Kosta Koufus ?

Kosta Koufus was born in Canton, Ohio. He's American.

[midnightpulp]

And even if Koufus does emerge, he doesn't count either. Born in Ohio and lived in the USA all of his life.

[ElNono]

Rony Seikaly was way better than Splitter.

Rony Seikaly was born in Lebanon. Not Greek.

[midnightpulp]

Kosta Koufus was born in Canton, Ohio. He's American.

Yep. By virtue of that, all the Greek cowardice and deviancy has been exorcised from his body.

[rayjayjohnson]

Kosta Koufus was born in Canton, Ohio. He's American.

Really? Dang. tbh he's not that good.

EDIT: actually, he's ok, he's 6 fouls and can play C. He's not actually better than Splitter tho

I'm not sure Splitter is as good as some spurfans think

[ElNono]

There's literally no Greek Basketball player better than Tiago Splitter. These are things we know.

[pass1st]

tbh, no Greek player is as good as Tiago "Euroleague MVP" Splitter

You need to get on the Splitter bandwagon, before its too late Ray.

Confusing their with there is one of my pet peeves. Can't believe I did it. Urrggh.

Real question - what is it about Splitter that makes Spurfans upstairs so moist? I'm curious, no troll.

[midnightpulp]

Real question - what is it about Splitter that makes Spurfans upstairs so moist? I'm curious, no troll.

Because we've had to deal with Matt Bonner as, for all intents and purposes, the 2nd big behind Duncan since '08, so any player who actually plays decently inside is going to look like the second coming of Kareem to Spurfan.

[ElNono]

He's 6'11 and doesn't chuck threes...

A legit bigman, whose skilled, high IQ. Spurfans have been craving a legit big since the Admiral left.

[ChumpDumper]

Real question - what is it about Splitter that makes Spurfans upstairs so moist? I'm curious, no troll.It's like when they finally got a competent point guard in Avery Jonhson after years of ass.

Only Splitter is better than merely competent.

Real talk, why does the rest of the world overrate Greece in basketball? I remember last olympics everybody had them winning bronze. They haven't done jack shit to earn recognition and should be in the same class as Angola.

[baseline bum]

Magic is definitely the greatest greek player of all-time, though Isiah and Rodman are also significantly better than Splitter.

[z0sa]

certain loud greek/arkansas dumbasses posting proliferately throughout the internets could partially be to blame

but seriously, it's all hype machine for the olympics. I don't see how anyone (in the states or near) could care about anything other than NBA/American college hoops any other time.

[Josepatches_]

Papaloukas was the best player in Europe some years ago.
He was the leader of Greek national team when they defeated the USA team in 2006.His talent and his knowledge of the game destroyed LeBron,Wade & cia.

But outside Papaloukas we should return to the 80s to find a player from Greece better than Splitter.

[ohmwrecker]

This thread will have to be considered a failure if manu_forever fails to respond.

tbh, no Greek player is as good as Tiago "Euroleague MVP" Splitter

Wow, Tiago won the Euroleague MVP too? Man that guy is really good. Chalk up another fine achievement for Splitter's resume.

[Halberto]

He's got a FG% near 65%

Last 5 games?

15.0 ppg 7.6 rbs with 72.5% on 8 att

I'd say thats pretty impressive.

80% of Argentina's national team is Italian.

No. All born and raised in Argentina.

Kosta Koufus, on the other hand, was born in Canton, Ohio. He's American.

Seikaly is Greek according to his OWN WORDS.

Seikaly was born in Beirut, Lebanon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rony_Seikaly)

He never won Euroleague MVP. Welcome to ignore list. From now on anyone that says that goes straight to ignore.

:rollin:rollin:rollin

No.


FIBA has even discusses fixing the rules to disqualify their players, due to all the cheating they have done.
There has even been talk of stripping their Olympic gold medal.

Prove it.

That looks about right. Splitter with his well deserved Euroleague MVP.

[ElNono]

And he was raised in Greece.

Lebanese, born and raised.

[ChumpDumper]

And he was raised in Greece.And got out as quickly as he could.

Greece couldn't even accept him as a citizen because they knew his virile seed would wipe out the inferior indigenous male breeding stock.

[ChumpDumper]

Are you THAT stupid?

My god. You are pathetic.

Their whole freaking national team is Argentine/German, and 80% Italians.

WTF is wrong with you? You didn't actually know that?

GTFO

:lmao:rollin:blah:downspin::lolI was talking about your stupid claim about taking away their medals.

Give us the link.

[ElNono]

He was raised in Greece.

He didn't move until he was 9. Raised in Lebanon.


He is more Greek than Manu is Argentine.

Link please.

[ChumpDumper]

Seikaly is GREEK. He has said numerous times that he has Greek blood.

I guess the Miami Heat were lying when they said he was a Greek. I guess the NBA was lying when they did a story on him and described as "Greek heritage".

Welcome to ignore list.:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah

Just show us the links or STFU.

[ElNono]

Strange how the Euroleague would be giving out Euroleague MVP award

What's strange about it. Splitter deserved his Euroleague MVP award.


I'm reporting you.

Go ahead.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm reporting you.


Welcome to ignore list.:lol

[ChumpDumper]

They were caught using fake birth certificates. Due to the fact their whole team just about is Italian.

This is WELL KNOWN and documented.If it's so well documented, give us a link to a document.

[ElNono]

This freaking douche bag must be a descendant of the Mussolini regime.

:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah

I take that means you don't have a link to the gold medal conspiracy...

:lol Koufos american

[baseline bum]

It'll be awesome to see Tiago add a Most Improved Player Trophy to his Euroleague MVP.

[ElNono]

Fascist Mussolini black shirt pigs like you should not be allowed to fill this forum with your fascist hatred.

Why don't you report me? :lol

In the meantime, where's this link to the faked birth certificates?

We know Koufos and Seikaly have real birth certificates, none of which are Greek.

[ElNono]

It'll be awesome to see Tiago add a Most Improved Player Trophy to his Euroleague MVP.

Yeah, kind of like when Manu won 6th man of the year.

Not taking anything away from Tiago, he really deserved that Euroleague MVP award.

You are such an uneducated inbred redneck. You moron, this was before the EU allowed the cross citizenship.

From 1995 onward he was a Greek citizen. You are such an ignorant uneducated buffoon.Surely you can show a link for this.

He's a naturalized American citizen.

Here's the link to prove it.

http://www.acb.com/jugador.php?id=A5Z

[ElNono]

You are Mussolini black shirt descendant and a fascist. You are so obvious that it's pathetic. Don't push me. You can be reported to the proper authorities.

And anti-Greek fascist rhetoric by Italian nationals is still considered to be a hate crime in the EU, with laws covering all internet discussion.

:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah

While you report me, see if you can dig up the link for those fake birth certificates :lmao

:lol Koufos american
:lol Seikaly lebanese
:lol cheating and still no medals

[pass1st]

USA has used more foreign players in its national men's basketball team than any other country in the world. In fact, they were the first to do so and were responsible for creating the naturalized player rule.

And Greece has never used a "naturalized" player once. USA has used more than any other country in the whole world.

Greece has been using American born players, we never used a Greek born player.

[baseline bum]

Nono, have you received the report yet?

[ElNono]

:lol liar
:lol Koufos born in Canton, Ohio

[pass1st]

That's it. I will be reporting you to the ADL.

The fascist Nazi hatred here against Greek nationals is still considered a hate crime, and people from Argentina can be prosecuted for doing it on the internet.

Greece isn't even a country anymore, it's just a piece of shit wasteland draining the EU's money

[pass1st]

:lolpaying people to be pedophiles

[pass1st]

I have a theory:

The reason Greekfan says players born in other countries are Greek is because he wasn't born in Greece and fights for their status as goat fuckers because he believes he's a goat fucker as well.

[ElNono]

That's it. I will be reporting you to the ADL.

[ElNono]

Koufos isn't naturalized you idiot.

So you agree Koufos is an American?

[ChumpDumper]

You idiot. I just told you. Prior to 1995 the EU laws did not allow citizenship to people from Lebanon.

Are you this stupid? Seriously?

SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU THIS FREAKING RETARDED?So what? Rony didn't want to be a citizen of Greece after that.

Can't you understand this?

Koufos is NOT naturalized you freaking idiots.

Naturalization (or naturalisation) is the acquisition of citizenship and nationality by somebody who was not a citizen of that country at the time of birth.

Kosta Koufos is a naturalized Greek citizen.

[ElNono]

FIBA allows one naturalized player on a national team, yet Greece can put 7 foreign born players in their team at one time legally........

So you agree Greece used naturalized players...

[ChumpDumper]

He is a Greek citizen right now.No, he isn't. He doesn't live there and they can't afford to hire him as a DJ. You can't make a person a citizen if he doesn't even bother to apply for citizenship.

[ElNono]

Koufos has been a Greek citizen from the day he was born.


Kosta Koufos was born in Canton, Ohio

American

[ChumpDumper]

He became a Greek national in 1995.No, he no longer gave a shit what that broke ass country did, so he kept his American and Lebanese citizenships.

Not Greek.

Never was.

Never will be.

[ElNono]

It's illegal in Greece for anyone but a natural born citizen to play on the national team.

Koufos is a NATURAL BORN Greek citizen.

Canton, Ohio. He's was born American.

[ElNono]

How come Team USA has numerous foreign born players when only ONE "naturalized" player is allowed?

How come John McCain could run for US President when he was born in Panama and no one born outside the US could be President?

How come Americans are NATURAL born no matter where they are born?

Because America runs this shit, while you guys beg for the leftovers.

That's why you have to come get Americans to play for your shitty national team that never won an Olympic medal.

[ElNono]

How many damn times does it have to be explained to you?

American

[ElNono]

El Nono and Chumpdumper keep saying that Greeks are not Greeks unless they are born in Greece.

Even though Greek law states that you are Greek by blood and not place of birth. You are Greek at birth regardless of where you are born at BIRTH.

On the other hand you can be born in Greece without Greek blood and do NOT have Greek citizenship.

There is a lot of things being posted here that are considered hate speech under EU laws.

I want these posters banned until they stop this. Otherwise I am reporting everything the ADL.1) I was talking about Seikaly only.

^ You should report him to PETA, tbh

[InK]

Guy inherits a big farm in Greece. First night after a hard work he goes on a stroll and to his suprise sees two men fucking a sheep. He is stunned. He asks the two Greeks: " What the hell are u people doing?" The two men reply that everyone fucks sheep in this parts of the world, that there are few women around and to escape boredom they like to make love to sheep sometimes.

Guy shakes his head in disbeleif and walks on. But as time passes he does indeed get lonely, so one night against his better judgment he finds himself a sturdy little sheep and has his way with her. The two men that he seen sodomizing a sheep suprise him whilst in the act. They start laughing at him:" Haha you moron, what are you doing" they ask him. The guy stutters; "Bbb but, you were fucking a sheep just a few weeks ago". "Yeh, but not such an ugly one"

Ancient greek anecdote imvho. Whats the lesson? KBP, no spoilers please.
