The Spurs are better of course.
Never happened. The Spurs can't just agree to a post-postseason game on their own. There are no provisions for anything like it in the bargaining agreement with the players' union, and most players like to go on vacation after winning a championship.
Also it's not certain that Pan wins Euroleague, that's still very far away. What if someone gets injured? And final 4 is just one game, anything can happen.
If play with mix NBA/FIBA rule on neutral court set by FIBA I think Spurs can only win game by maybe 8-10 points. NBA fan should pay more attention what Panathinaikos team is capable of.
Remember Panathinaikos team have lost games to 3rd division Greece teams in pre-season. So NBA fan lies to themseilf thinking NBA teams in "pre-season mode and Pana plays together foe years"
explain then how PAO team lose to 3rd division Greek team in pre-season too? 3rd division Greek team like Spurs losing to NCAA team.
NBA fan seem think only Euroleague team care about game and NBA team not care. Truth is before game Greek annoucners have admit Stern orders NBA team to play to win game. Coach of Pana team had told his team play as little as can so no injury.
Coach Obradovic care even less about such game then even coach like Popovic. You know coach Popovich you should know coach Obradovic same personality even more though.
C'mon ya'll gotta admit that a Euroleague Champion vs NBA Champion game would be fun.
Union, schmoonion. St. Demetrios himself revealed this truth to KBP while he was holding his breath and staring at his bellybutton.
Not true. This happen before when Bulls play same game against Olympiacos. You always give fact that are lie. And always be prove wrong and act like never said such thing.
Also like say team not sanction by ULEB or NBA. Maybe you need learn read.
Or what?Truth is before game Greek annoucners have admit Stern orders NBA team to play to win game.
What would the consequences have been had the NBA teams not played to win?
More Greek media BS.
That was the McDonald's Championship in 1997, you idiot.
Please stop posting here. You suck. You are obsessed with an obscure European player who will never play any significant role on the Spurs. We don't care. Vagilis doesn't matter. Shut up.
Even last game without Diamantidis they have 30 point lead against "good" Euroleague team Fenerbache in first half before coach put in 2nd and 3rd unit and tell team let up on them and hold ball to run shot clock all possesion.
Final score still 83-64 win in Turkey on road. Pana team need several injuries to even lose to team like Real since final 4 this year in Madrid.
Please Ban KBP.
Apparently the Spurs won the last time an NBA team played.
That's how much we care about this.
Because in Europe media said it was "World Championship" game. Stern was informed of it. Even though coach of Pana did not care.
You the idiot this game try be brought back or you not understand simple logic?
It calls "McDonald's" game because Stern only care about marketing.
Stern working on marketing for the Spurs-Pana game now.
That wasn't my question.
What would the consequences have been had the NBA teams not played to win?
You're saying Stern was threatening NBA teams. What was the threat?
Nuff said about all the hyperbole. Only way to settle this is on the court. Spurs vs Pana and both teams bring their "A" game.
I say no such thing. I say Stern tell them try win game. Like say Obradovic just like Popovich both coach probably laugh at Stern stupid talk.
But anyway Spurs have been invite for the World Champion game so stop insult me.
Of course the likelyhood of this matchup is extremely unlikely cause the Celtics are gonna win it all this year
Kepp in mind...Spurs have the guy who was the best Euroleague player in the World at the time he came to the NBA, and unlike many others...he completely transferred and actually got better. His name is Manu...
European champion will get it's butt kicked. We got the best guard ever produced by the Euroleague...not to mention the two Team Captains of the reigning Olympic Champion Team...and just to put the cherry on top, this team has continuity and players with extensive FIBA/Euroleague experience.
Don't expect the Olympics to happen here....
My only question would be who refs the game....not claiming that NBA refs have the right to go around pointing fingers...but they've been far less blatant in game altering than International Refs.
I didn't read everything he wrote...but they do have some leeway in their preseason schedule don't they?
Manu and Duncan better than player on PAO but PAO have 2 player better than parker.
Stern will not allow any game unless all refs are NBA.
You said he ordered them to. Why are you lying about what you said?
So I'm sure you have a link for it.But anyway Spurs have been invite for the World Champion game so stop insult me.
The McDonald's cup took place in October, making it just another preseason exercise for the NBA and yet another lie from a Greek poster.
It would have to be a mixed Euroleague/NBA officiating crew. Alternating in majority numbers over a 5 to 7 game series.
If all the refs are NBA refs how would that be fair?
