If those guys are so great why is the guy at the end wearing a Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose jersey instead of a Antetokoumpo jersey?

[KungFuJoe]

Not. Even. Close.

[Euroleague]

Not. Even. Close.

What are you talking about? He clearly had to move his head so he didn't hit the rim.

[shallehalle]

1. he pushed off his brother with his left hand
2. nothing impressive, when there are guys doing windmills, between the legs and behind the back dunks over people

[selrahc]

didnt see him move his head :confusedshrug:

He moved his head...but he wouldn't have come close to hitting the rim even if he didn't.

Camera angle.

And he did not push off of his brother. He was clearly at the top of his jump at 33 seconds, before he ever touched his brother.

[KobesFinger]

He looks a lot bigger than 6'7. Also I didn't see him move his head at all, it was more that his momentum took him past the rim

[CavaliersFTW]

he quite visibly pushed off, there's no denying it

[Blue&Orange]

The question is... were they that lowered the rim, or was it already like that when they showed up.

terrible camera angle as well, if this image were an accurate screen capture of how high this guy got than his arm would be "top of the backboard" height meanwhile his head is still below the rim as if his arms are 4 feet long a piece minus the breadth of his shoulders... therefore what's his wingspan, about 10 feet? This trick dunk where you push off the guy below you has been done many times before on playgrounds all accross the U.S., it's really not that big a deal - nothing to see here, just a shitty camera angle in a middle school gym of some guy pushing himself higher than his actual ability to jump. Carry on OP.

The height does look adjustable on that backboard doesn't it, this whole thing might be staged :facepalm

[ThunderStruk022]

He quite clearly didn't move his head and clearly pushed off.

But carry on being a insane racist psychotic f***ot OP.

[madmax]

damn...these super athletic mighty greek spartans:applause: :bowdown:
No wonder NBA doesn't allow them to enter their scrubby league and embarrass their overrated primadonas.:eek:

[Jolokia]

Head is short of rim even with a little help from the clear push off.
Was never impressed at any point of the video.

[Euroleague]

It looks like he tucked his head in. You can clearly see that in the video.

He is indeed 6'7" tall -->

ROFL. Another Euroleague thread backfire.

Of course we know there are black people in greece, who do you think dominated the ancient greek olympics all those years back? short white dudes!? :facepalm

[AirTupac]

So a Nigerian guy dunked who cares? We saw that plenty of times when Nigeria smashed Greece.

And yes, he did push off his brother. Can any white greek basketball player dunk?

Thanasis Adetokunbo (alternate spelling: Thanassis, Adetokoumbo) (Greek: Θανάσης Αντετοκούμπο; born July 17, 1992 in Greece) is a Nigerian professional basketball player. He is a 2.01 m (6 ft 7 in) tall shooting guard-small forward.[1] His younger brother, Ioannis Adetokunbo, is also a professional basketball player.
Damn, dude is a straight up Nigerian born and raised :roll:, good for him and his country dominating greece and than being open to helping their struggling team become better at basketball and have more athleticism on that mostly white team. Gotta admit even though he pushed off to get higher he does have decent hops but @210lbs he certainly doesn't have an NBA body. Still, prob much more athletic than natural born white greeks though.

I'm glad ISH has posters like you are here to educate everyone with facts on the state of International basketall though :applause:

[Nash]

Now how the hell does this fit in the NBA forum? They are division 2 players from Greece.

Malaka.

They were born in Greece. They have lived their whole lives in Greece. They speak Greek. Thanasis just gave an interview where he said he is Greek and has no affiliation to Nigeria.

He was born in Greece and has lived in Greece his entire life. You ****ing moron.

[Euroleague]

THEY WERE BORN IN GREECE. THEY HAVE LIVED IN GREECE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.

STOP BEING RACIST.

[coin24]

Greeks begging the almighty Nigerians for some athletic players:oldlol:

[Euroleague]

You are a ******.

Olympiacos of Euroleague will own Thanasis' rights as soon as his current contract expires.

Spanish League club Zaragoza owns the rights to Ioannis. He will play with them as soon as his current contract expires.

NBA scouts are regularly at their games. They are both considered to be in the very top echelon of European prospects by the NBA. Ioannis is considered to be one of the very best European players of his generation.

Of course, you would not know that, because you are a ****ing moron.

[Euroleague]

Greeks begging the almighty Nigerians for some athletic players:oldlol:

Yeah, I guess they knew ahead of time, back before 1992, before they were even born..............

BTW, their older brother was born in Greece in 1984.

Strange then how you ****ing idiots think they came to Greece this summer.

[coin24]

Did you actually think that there are no black people in Greece? Seriously?


:roll: :roll: as if you'd know. I bet you have never left Arkansas you redneck fu*k:lol :lol

They probably pay the Nigerians to come over and live in there peasant shithole country that is Greece.

Funny, since you can't play for the Greek national team unless you have Greek ancestry.

[Pacers4ever]

not only did he push off his head was never going to hit the rim. Until he leaves that scrub league don't post it on the nba forum.
