Greek National Team Scrubs That Are Coveted By The NBA

[Euroleague]

Giannis Antetokounmpo - NBA player

He was the 5th leading scorer of the Greek Under-20 national team. He also was not good enough to even get an invite to the training camp of the senior men's Greek national team.


Kostas Koufos - NBA player

Koufos was the starting center of the Denver Nuggets last year.

He has varied between either being the 3rd string center on the Greek national team, or not even being invited to play on the team.


Nick Calathes - NBA player

On the Greek national team, he has been the backup point guard, behind Vassilis Spanoulis. Also, the only reason Calathes ever even made the Greek national team, was because Dimitris Diamantidis refused to play. Otherwise, Calathes would never have even made the Greek national team.



So, to make clear...............

Koufos is a 3rd string C, or not even invited on Greek national team, but in the NBA he was a starter.......

Antetokounmpo can't even get invited to the training camp of the Greek national team, and he's already in the NBA, with the Bucks claiming he will be a rotation player this year.

Calathes, who was Vassilis Spanoulis' backup on the Greek national team, has now been given a rotation spot on the Grizzlies, according to most reports........


Yep, the NBA sure is "superior" alright..........

:lol :oldlol: :rolleyes: :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

Why do you care about superiority this much? Don't you have anything to be proud of in your own life? If others talk sh*t about the Euroleague, and you feel insulted, you really aren't one of the brightest :confusedshrug:

Speaking of Greek scrubs, why don't NBA teams want Vaseline Spoonlolis?

[gabepizza]

Funny how you spent all this time praising Antetokounmpo comparing him to Kevin Durant, posting videos of him dunking and predicting he is going to be a top draft pick and now when he is drafted in the mid first level and is about to start his NBA career he becomes a scrub.

You are really looney.

I bet even if your boyfriend, that scrub Spanoulis, decided to give the NBA another go the second he signs with an NBA team we will start to hear you calling him a scrub as well.

And remember the Greek national team is the same team that was eliminated by Nigeria in the qualifying tournament. The same Nigerian team that lost to the US by over 80 points in the Olympics.

That really shows the quality of the Greek National team. Maybe if they gave more playing team to players like Koufos and Calathes instead of the disgraced scrubs Spanoulis and Bourousis the Greek national team would stop being the laughing stock of the basketball world.

Nigeria!

That's funny, considering ever since Calathes and Koufos, "the NBA level players" joined the Greek national team all the winning of medals immediately stopped.

BEFORE the addition of the "NBA level players", Greece was winning medals every year. The team got exponentially worse by far when the NBA players joined it.

And of course, without those NBA players (FINALLY got rid og that scrub Calathes - THANK GOD), now Greece can finally start winning again.

They will win GOLD this summer at EuroBasket, now that they got rid of the NBA SCRUBS totally.

But keep up your delusions. Just know the thread will be bumped when Greece wins gold this summer, now that the NBA scrubs are off the team.

Odd..............considering that gabepizza has argued here for months on end that those players were all from Nigeria and all played in the Nigerian League, and were all developed in Nigeria.................

"Nigeria beating Greece proves Nigerian League is better than Greek League and Euroleague."

I don't know of too many Americans playing in the Nigerian League.

Why are you laughing? You do realize that if Calathes produces in the NBA, then it means that Calathes, the BACKUP of Spanoulis in Greek NT (and scrub in Euroleague play) is able to play in the NBA with no problem.

Which means Euroleague is better than all you NBA only fan clowns say, and that Spanoulis is better than most NBA players.

Either way, you lose, and I win.

The better Calathes does in NBA, the more my points are backed up and verified. Of course, you are far too stupid to be able to grasp that.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Fernando San Emeterio minutes played at 2012 Olympics = 113

Sergio Rodriguez (NBA player) minutes played at Olympics = 99

Victor Claver (NBA player) minutes played at Olympics = 25

Of course, it's not like facts and truth ever actually mattered to you even once.

Antetokounmpo isn't a member of Greek national team. Try comprehending what you read sometime.

And yes, the NBA is NOT "superior" if it uses Greek national team role players as starters and rotation players. Which is exactly the case. I mean freaking Koufos, either is 3rd string center on Greece, or he does not get invited. It's one or the other most times.

He was a STARTER in the NBA.

Antetokounmpo was the FIFTH scorer of the JUNIOR Greek team............yet the Bucks said he will be a rotation NBA player.

So yeah NBA "superiority" claims are totally 100% proven to be complete bullshit.

And not making a 12 or so man team but making a damn near 400 man league tells you the 12 man team has players equal to the players of note in the 400?

A backup on the Grizzlies is also a backup on the Greek national team...and this is impressive to you?

Besides dude is from Florida. And his father is american too. And his grandfather was born in New York.

But you are so excited this guy...95% of the sports world forgot existed....has made it as a role player to the league....you need to make topics on the matter?

This is news only in that it technically involves people who can list themselves as NBa players.

But none of these people matter at the moment. Down the line perhaps.

Charismatic, powerful and strong, Joe Blair shined in Europe's signature club competition early in this decade. Blair became the Euroleague regular season in 2002-03 and made it to the All-Euroleague second team in 2001-02. An outstanding rebounder at both ends, Blair opened the decade playing for PAOK and then averaged a double-double with Scavolini Pesaro (15.6 ppg., 11.9 rpg.) in the 2001-02 season. Blair stayed as a dominant force with Ulker in each of the last two seasons and also played for Milano in 2005-06. His 31 career double-doubles say it all - Blair was a reference due to his fighting spirit, hard-nosed attitude and determination.

Euroleague = Minor League:cheers:

No. The definition of minor league was already posted.

Again, what minor league did Spanoulis play in?

[KG215]

No one named Huffman or Blair has ever been Euroleague MVP.

Exactly, he was NEVER Euroleague MVP, just EXACTLY as that says.

You know how RETARDED you are?

The league MVP award is given to the player that gets the most votes for the ALL EUROLEAGUE TEAM.

So explain how this guy was "Euroleague MVP", even though he didn't even make the first or even the SECOND team of Euroleague?

I will wait to see what kind of retarded TROLL LIE you come up with.

Go ahead............and since you are using Wikipedia for your LIES and TROLLS, here is Wikipedia, listing the TRUTH, that the "Euroleague MVP" was not even in the top 10 voting that same season.............

He was never Euroelague MVP idiot.

The first time the league even had an MVP award was in 2005. It's absolutely amazing how stupid you are.

Just so you know, your employer does not pay you enough to do this.

I also forgot about NBA reject Langdon.

Cut by the Clips

This is what happened


The steady rise of Trajan Langdon as one of the world's great shooters had its crowning moment as he guided CSKA Moscow to a second Euroleague title together in three seasons while being named MVP of the 2008 Final Four. Langdon had already reached the Euroleague final with Benetton in 2003, but he was without a trophy when in 2005 he arrived to Moscow in the the prime of his career. The next four years were filled with success. The first season, Langdon helped win CSKA's first continental title in 35 years. The next, CSKA was runner-up. In 2007-08, he was the undisputed leader as CSKA captured a new title and Langdon added the Final Four MVP trophy to his collection of accolades. Last season, though it lost the title by one point, CSKA became the first team to be a finalist four years in a row. Langdon has now garnered All-Euroleague honors for three consecutive seasons, which says it all about a great defender with unlimited shooting range and winning mentality.

So Euroleague doesn't even know about euroleague...interesting.

Newsflash genius, the Euroleague MVP award did not even exist in the 2002-03 season, when Blair won it according to these lying clown trolls.

And Huffman did not even play in Euroleague. The season he was "Euroleague MVP" he didn't even play in Euroleague.

These clown LIARS claim he was MVP in 2000-01 season.......

OK, check out the Euroleague's official website, and go ahead, find him........

http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?pcode=AOV&seasoncode=E2001

It's a little hard to be league MVP in 2000-01 season, considering he was not even in the league.

So go ahead, look at it,

[QUOTE=Rooster]Ford,Edney and Brown were NBA rejects

Euroleague GOAT:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

An athletic swingman with poise, talent and a knack for winning - especially in the biggest games - Anthony Parker became a superstar by leading Maccabi Tel Aviv to back-to-back Euroleague titles in 2004 and 2005. No team had been able to repeat in more than a generation, and Parker was Maccabi's undisputed leader. He was named Euroleague MVP in the second of those title seasons and the one that followed, becoming the only player so honored in consecutive years. Parker's alley-oop dunks, finesse and good-as-gold mid-range shot turned him into an icon for Maccabi fans, though he was respected for his professionalism as much as he was admired for his talent. Between 2004 and 2006, Parker piled up trophies as double champion, two-time all-Euroleague first-team selecion and Final Four MVP. Parker and Maccabi reached another title game in 2006, just missing on a historic three-peat, but by then their legacy together had been cemented as Parker simply dominated the Euroleague at his peak. He still holds the single-season record for performance index ratings in a season, 2004-05, and had the next-best rating the following one. Parker also hit the second-most free throws in any season all decade and and 2005-06 seasons still rank first and second for the decade.

[ralph_i_el]

Giannis Antetokounmpo - NBA player

He was the 5th leading scorer of the Greek Under-20 national team. He also was not good enough to even get an invite to the training camp of the senior men's Greek national team.


Kostas Koufos - NBA player

Koufos was the starting center of the Denver Nuggets last year.

He has varied between either being the 3rd string center on the Greek national team, or not even being invited to play on the team.


Nick Calathes - NBA player

On the Greek national team, he has been the backup point guard, behind Vassilis Spanoulis. Also, the only reason Calathes ever even made the Greek national team, was because Dimitris Diamantidis refused to play. Otherwise, Calathes would never have even made the Greek national team.



So, to make clear...............

Koufos is a 3rd string C, or not even invited on Greek national team, but in the NBA he was a starter.......

Antetokounmpo can't even get invited to the training camp of the Greek national team, and he's already in the NBA, with the Bucks claiming he will be a rotation player this year.

Calathes, who was Vassilis Spanoulis' backup on the Greek national team, has now been given a rotation spot on the Grizzlies, according to most reports........


Yep, the NBA sure is "superior" alright..........

:lol :oldlol: :rolleyes: :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

:roll:


George Karl go fired for starting Koufos over McGee. Nick Calathes hasn't done shit. Giannis hasn't played an NBA game either and he was drafted on potential.

You're a ridiculous troll. If I was a mod i'd delete every one of your threads as soon as I saw it.

A whole bunch of people here said that Greece can't win anything because they "don't have NBA players".

Well, they just basically blew out France, which is loaded with NBA players.

Greece had zero NBA players in the game, while France had 5 current NBA players, and 7 NBA players overall.

The final score was 79 to 67, but it wasn't that close. Greece was up by 18 in the middle of the 4th quarter, and then the last 5-6 minutes of the game was just garbage time.

:roll:

[Real Men Wear Green]

Antetokounmpo isn't a member of Greek national team. Try comprehending what you read sometime.

And yes, the NBA is NOT "superior" if it uses Greek national team role players as starters and rotation players. Which is exactly the case. I mean freaking Koufos, either is 3rd string center on Greece, or he does not get invited. It's one or the other most times.

He was a STARTER in the NBA.

Antetokounmpo was the FIFTH scorer of the JUNIOR Greek team............yet the Bucks said he will be a rotation NBA player.

So yeah NBA "superiority" claims are totally 100% proven to be complete bullshit.
Wait, the title of your thread is:
Greek National Team Scrubs That Are Coveted By The NBAAnd yet you start your thread talking about how Antetokounmpo, who I didn't even mention, isn't on the Greek team. So I'm confused here:

Is this thread about players that play for the Greek National team and managed to make the NBA...

Euroleague owned and raped, as usual. However, no one seems to have pointed out that if you are on the Greek NT, then it means you are considered one of Greece's best players, right?

What does it matter then that Koufos is 3rd string. Or Calathes is a backup? They are still in the NT of Greece! One of the 12 or 15 best in Greece! Does this mean the players they are backing are necessarily better that they are? Not necessarily, especially in Europe.

It has already been pointed out here many times by Euros that starting and coming off the bench are meaningless in Europe? Am I right or am I wrong? So what does it matter, again, being backups on Greece's best team?

First of all, you have been exposed many times regarding NBA players who have not performed in the Euroleague. Mind you, NBA players aren't necessarily on Team USA. Many NBA players are in the NBA, yes, but barely. Meaning, they are borderline NBA players.

The point of the thread is Greek NT "scrubs coveted by the NBA." What I'm saying is : Can a top 10 or 20 player in a NT of a top basketball country like Greece actually be a scrub? Calathes is definitely not a scrub in Greece. Although he might still be a scrub in the NBA.

The whole premise of your thread is wrong.
