I would think so. France should be favorite to win the qualification spot. If they cannot even win that then something is really wrong with French basketball system.Quote:

No such thing, so don;t post greek NT's stuff on here.
Thanks in advance,

HOow come a Greek-American never wins the National Spelling Bee?
The NBA is becoming more a joke every day. All of your NBA 6th men from playoff teams failed in Europe miserably last year.Quote:

Problem is American born NBA players playing in Europe is like Formula One race cars trying to race on a go cart track.
:lol
Schortsanitis is in the startin lineup?
Why is this in the Spurs forum? This belongs in the NBA forum. Get this out of here.
Would anyone be in favour of starting a petition to get Kill Bill Pana and his shithouse topics off Spurs talk

C Bourousis/Glyniadakis/Koufos/Schortsanitis
There is 17 players and that is the depth chart. Bourousis and Vasilopoulos are both injured and might not play. So then Pelekanos and Vasiliadis will cet called to the camp.
All the players from the 2005 European champions and 2006 world second place team that retired last summer instead of play in the Olympics (Papadopoulos, Hatzivrettas, Kakiouzis, Dikoudis) are all staying retired now permanently. But no problem we lost 4 rotation players and still made 5th at Olympics and only missed the semifinal by one shot.
For this year Tsartsaris, Diamantidis, and Papaloukas all also from the 2005 and 2006 teams are also retiring. And like I say now also Vasilopoulos and Bourousis probably will not play either. Now worries. We can handle losing even these 5 rotation players. So that would be 9 rotation players gone from the 2005 and 2006 teams :rollin
So from last year Olympics team the starting point guard, the 6th man, the starting small forward, and the starting center will all be gone :blah
No matter. Greece has tremendous basketball depth. Even with all of these players quitting and being injured the last 2 years it means nothing with all the depth we have.
So the team should be something like
PG Spanoulis/Zisis/Kalampokis
SG Pelekanos/Tsaldaris
SF Perperoglou/Printezis
PF Fotsis/Mavrokefalides
C Glyniadakis/Koufos/Schortsanitis
Like I say Pelekanos has not got invite yet but I am sure he will once Vasilopoulos is officially out because of injury. I do not see how Kazlauskas can keep him out then and he can for sure make the team. So with all the retirements, injuries and the players that retired last year so what. It does not make any difference.
That would be the 12 players I would choose base on who we have available. That is still either best or second beat team in Europe. And good thing about it is this team would be MUCH more athletic, MUCH quicker, MUCH better in offense than the teams from 2004-2008 were. And now FINALLY it is announced that Spanoulis will be starting point guard and will have the offense come through him. In past it was always Papaloukas and Diamantidis and Papaloukas sucks in scoring and Diamantidis is at very best an average player in offense if even that good.
New coach of team also say he will play at faster pace and focus more on offense. Before Giannakis demand to use the shot clock and only wanted all players that were great defenders and he never even took shooters.
Just seeing how now players like Spanoulis, Pelekanos, Kalampokis can all get their time now this could be best Greek team ever. I was waiting a long time to finally get rid of Diamantidis and Papaloukas. Players like Kalampokis and Pelekanos are far more athletic and explosive than they are.
You just made me depressed man, papaloukas and diamantidis are not playing?!
I knew coach Yiannakis is not with the team, but what the fuk... oh well :((((
at least spurs are doing fine.
France has much better team, oh well....
What position does Yanni play?
:wgaf:
We all know that you are an attention whore...
No one gives a shit about your Greek ass or any their players...
No one likes you.... In fact everyone hates you.... I hope that perhaps you can conceptualize this and prove to everyone that you are not obtuse and just go away.

Diamantidis just dribbles, dribbles, then throws the ball in a wild manner out to the perimeter.
And in athletic levels they don't have it anymore. Both lost there athletic ability.
Actually I would much rather have players like Kalampokis and Pelekanos than them right now.
They should just get Nikos Galis to play for the National Team. He might be the best player even today. :lol
Seriously Galis was nasty, easily the best Greek Baller ever and maybe the best player to play overseas that never went to the NBA.
Kill Bill do you have any old info/stats of Nikos Galis? Dude averaged 40ppg on 60% shooting in his prime in Aris. Thats sick no matter what the competetion was back then.
Do you have any Team Stats for Aris or the Greek League in the 80s and 90s? I cant find any websites with stats of Greek League in 80s and 90s!
I don't remember the team stats in those days. I remember though that Galis had 37-40 points per game for like 6 or 7 years in a row.Quote:

Yeah if there is anything as a Greek basketball to be upset about I would say its Galis not coming to the NBA. Even at 6 foot he would still be a scoring force in the NBA, at the very least as a super scoring 6th man ala Vinnie Johnson.Quote:

Its a shame he broke his leg/ankle in 1979 after being drafted by Boston or he might have been paired with Parish, McHale, and Bird for years to come! Imagine Galis running the point for that team! Even MORE scoring power.

didn't go to Greece till he was 22. kind of a fake Greek either.
(the honorable version of the fake Greek of course)
The Celtics and Nets both offered him contracts in the 80s but he did not want to play in the NBA anymore. He was making more money in Aris than players like Bird and Magic were in the NBA.Quote:

jezzz, once more you leave me astonished how dumb a single person can be.Quote:

:jack
You are a fucking MORON. His parents were born in Rhodes and lived there. Galis was born 2 weeks after they left Rhodes.Quote:

At the beggining, it was football, but lastly, it could only be basketball for Nick. Those years, Galis would play endlessly in Manhattan's playgrounds, where as he later admited, he could not recall losing a game, even playing against older guys.
Turkey: Beating the Shit Out oF Greece Since 1460. I personally thought turning the Parthenon into a mosque was a great touch.
Turkoglu > Greek National Team. At least he can start and succeed much less stick with the NBA.Quote:
Atsür named to 2009 Turkish National team
According to FIBA, Engin Atsür will join Hedo Turkoglu on the preliminary roster of the 2009 Turkish Men’s Senior National Basketball Team for Eurobasket 2009, the run-up tourney for the 2010 FIBA championship which will be held in Turkey.
Atsür has been absent from his professional team, Efes Pilsen, since the spring recovering from a rumored surgery on his Achilles heel, a problem that apparently plagued him here at NC State.
Nice one.:lol:lol:lol:lol:lolQuote:

I remember pulling over to the side of the road outside of Athens becasue I thought I would see a great view of the Aegean. I look down and I see a ton of dead cats washing up in the surf.
Dead cats at the beach, along the road, pretty much everywhere. It was weird as hell.
Youre not even greek so it doesn't matter but I thought I would share that.
Parker didn't even play in that game.Quote:

Where the fuck is that damn mofo that kept guaranteeing Greece next generation would get "destroyed and dominated" by Russia, Spain, France, Lithuania next generation. That fucking IDIOT.
2008 under 18 European championship
Gold - Greece
Silver - Lithuania
Bronze - Croatia
2009 under 19 world championship
Gold - USA
Silver - Greece
Bronze - Croatia
2009 under 20 European championship

Greece next generation is fucking DOMINATING Europe.
Wake me if any of those homos make it to the NBA where real men play real basketball.
Kill Bill Pana only two things:
1)Kalampokis isn't pg.He is sg/sf.
2)If you say that Diamantidis is overrated in Europe and in Greece you must be a fucking dumbass.He is a TOP 5 player and the best pg in European basketball.Stop the bullshits please.
Diamantidis and Papaloukas are huge absences for Greek NT but I really want to see Calathes and Koufos.
In what state is Manhattan located?Quote:
