Yea right. That is still easily the at least the second best roster. You must be joking at 5th or 6th at best.

You are like all the other homer Greeks. Papaloukas and especially Diamantidis are incredibly overrated players. In fact there are many Greek players better than Papaloukas right now. I do not think he should even be on the team. So I don't care if he is gone.

Diamantidis is superb in defense but in everything else he is at best an average player. Actually he is often outmatched at such levels. He can't give any offense at all. Both of them also dominate the ball so much and force the team offense to go down. Papaloukas is a one man fast break and turnover machine (he is the REAL Greek turnover machine). 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.

Why the fuck is this in the spurs forum?? who gives a flying fuck about this shit?

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.

He was strong, fast, crafty and could create his own shot OFTEN. Also he would always be above 58% in shooting even in college at Seton Hall when he averaged 28ppg. 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.

yes, he was the best Greek player ever.
the reason is, that he was born in New York, grew up in New York and New Jersey, learned to play basketball there and also played for Seton Hall.
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.

BOTH his parents were born in Rhodes and Galis was born in USA 2 weeks after they left Rhodes. You are a fucking moron who knows NOTHING as usual.

Question for KBP...

No insults, no profanity. Its simple, yes or no.





Will Bourousis still be the Spurs savior?

:wgaf:

Galis was a scrub.

and how is this thread spurs related?

GTFO

And in other news Greek Basketball still sucks and I still dont give a shit!

Greece has have a hell of a team that I really admire, stuck with nothing but talent and great great players...the only thing bad for them is that at same time that argentina and spain which ruined possible title achievements of a great time. Something like Phoenix with SA.

jezzz, once more you leave me astonished how dumb a single person can be.
once again, for the dummy: Galis was born in the USA, grew up in the USA, learned to play basketball on the playgrounds of New York and didn't go to Greece before he was 22. nothing else I stated before. who cares if his parents came over 2 weeks or 2 centuries before he was born. this still means: the best player in history of Greek basketball was an American player.

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

He did NOT "learned to play basketball on the playgrounds of New York" you fucking idiot. He played in new Jersey. You are literally wrong every fucking time you post.
