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

[Stalin]

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

they call him the Golden God

[ChumpDumper]

You could have got him for this year

lol no

[pass1st]

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 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.

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.

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.

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

[angelbelow]

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.

Yeah man, here's the pic

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.

[ElNono]

Seikaly is Greek according to his OWN WORDS.

Seikaly was born in Beirut, Lebanon.

[ElNono]

He won Euroleague MVP.

[mystargtr34]

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

[ElNono]

Argentina's national team is ITALIAN.

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.

I demand a link.

[ElNono]

That is what the Euroleague MVP award looks like.

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

I 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.

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.

I'm reporting you.
