Giannis Antetokounmpo

[Grinder]

This kid oozes of potential. His skill set coupled with his athleticism is something else. I saw some of his games at the U20 Euros this past summer and now in preseason and have come away impressed each time.

His production doesn't match his talent but once he learns to hone it and becomes more confident, he'll be a hell of a player. The Bucks need to give this kid ample playing time and let him develop because they might finally have a legit star player on their hands.

We need a nickname for this kid, no one wants to type Antetokounmpo regularly. :D

[dr.hee]

A nickname? What about "T-Mac of Europe"? No wait, already taken...

[3peated]

i called this on draft night that his nickname should be "ante up"

[DukeDelonte13]

he looked good in his first preseason game.

[kshutts1]

I like Jalen's nickname for him. Po.

or just durantupoulos :confusedshrug:

I like Giant. Better than The Ant.

[HomieWeMajor]

The (Anti)Thesis

[Pointguard]

I made a thread about him in May. I thought he was for sure the player with the most upside in this draft and was really worried that OKC was going to get him. His coordination, left hand and handle is amazing at his age. I saw him run full speed, dribble and dunk left handed like only John Wall can do with the off hand. Also has great court vision. Was making threes pretty easy too.

The argument against him was weird to me. Like he couldn't adjust to bigger fast guys but they have no evidence of that. Especially when he looked taller and faster than anybody I have seen since Durant.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

He's looked great in his first two games. He moves so well for a guy his size and unlike most skinny tall guards, he actually has a nice frame to put on some muscle. And he's only 18. Way more polished than I thought he would be. Probably the best looking rookie I have seen thus far.

He does move a bit like TMac. I've been surprisingly impressed with his offensive and defensive potential already. The Bucks have a nice future with Sanders, Henson, and this-long-named-kid-who-badly-needs-a-nickname. If they would just tank for once to get their future PG or aim for Parker or Wiggins...

He already has a nickname. It's Greek Freak. And he's 6-10, not 6-9.

It's also hilarious how he puts up better stats in the NBA than he did in the SECOND division in Greece.

[Bandito]

He just seems to be an athletic prodigy with a crazy wingspan. But we have to wait at least until he is 22 to see if he will be a Carmelo or a Miguel (I forgot his name :lol) Pietrus. I remember Pietrus had crazy athleticism but he was raw and he didn't become what his talent was supposed to show.

:lol :oldlol: :rolleyes:Didn't he played like one game in the preseason? And stats depend on time played on the court. If the Euroleague didn't give him a chance because they are morons and the NBA give the kid time so they can have a talented player in the future it is possible for the kid to have better stats on the NBA.

It is worst though when a player who was supposed to be the next TMac is given time and he just plays horrible while a lesser player like Arroyo was actually a solid role player when he was on the NBA...

All of that was completely made up and imagined anyway. The comments about "he plays against 6-5 slow high school guys" were all imagined and fake.

He played against 7 footers and grown professionals in Greece's 2nd league. But US sports media did some serious lying about him.

[Euroleague]

He was getting better stats in NBA preseason than in 2nd Greek League that NBA "experts" in US said was "below US high school level" and that on the draft night they even said was "at US junior high level"..............

Always nice when US arrogance and ignorance comes back to haunt them.


Last year at this time you said, "I never heard of this kid so no way in hell will he be a first round draft pick and no way in hell will he ever be a good player. If he had any ability he would be all over US sports media".

Yeah, like "US sports media" or NBA ever scouted in Greece EVER...........IDIOT

In Spain they considered him the biggest prospect since Dirk.

[dr.hee]

Always nice when US arrogance and ignorance comes back to haunt them.

You're a f*cking redneck yourself. What is wrong with you?

He wasn't in Euroleague he was in some 2nd division Greek league.

The funniest thing about this is before anyone ever heard of this guy Euroleague was talking him up, saying how he was the next Kevin Durant, is going to be a top draft pick, posting videos of him dunking, etc, etc..but now that he was actually drafted and is going to play in the NBA he has to make a 180 and is say how much of a scrub he was in Europe.

I really want Spanoulis to come back to the NBA just to mess with Euroleague. On one hand Spanoulis is his favorite player who he thinks is one of the best players in the world. On the other hand if he comes back to the NBA he will be an NBA player and Euroleague will feel the need to diminish his accomplishments and call him a scrub.

His head might literally explode!

He played in the SECOND DIVISION of Greece.

Already a more impressive career than Spanolis

I never ever said he was anything but a talent you idiot. I NEVER EVER said he was Kevin Durant in Europe.

Strange how he couldn't pass his tryout for Greece's national team.............

He'll have a better rookie year than your boy Spanoulis for sure. I mean Shaun Livingston did, and you've said before that Antegokumopotakatalamonpuo is better than a young Livingston. And I'm betting he won't run away after a few bad games. Finally, the real T-Mac of Europe has arrived. :bowdown:

He won't ever be as good as Spanoulis is.

He's talented, but he will NEVER EVER be as good as top Greek players like Spanoulis and Diamantidis.

NEVER.

At the same age Spanoulis was light years better.

Giannis was the 4th best player of Greece's under 20 team.

[aj1987]

He won't ever be as good as Spanoulis is.

3 points on 30%

[dr.hee]

At the same age Spanoulis was light years better.

I don't think that he'll be satisfied with 3 points and 1 assist per game. He wants more. The NBA might be inferior to Euroleague, but still too good for Spanoulis :cheers:

I'm betting that Antetokounmpo will be a better NBA player than Spanoulis ever was. Not that this is particularly hard, but you have to start somewhere. After that he can have bigger goals, like Matt Barnes or maybe even Steve Blake. But being better than Spanoulis was is a nice starting point.

He won't be half as good as Spanoulis is.

[Inferno]

He won't be half as good as Spanoulis is.

If he averages more than 3 on 30% then he'll be better

[Jameerthefear]

there will always be a few good apples in the highschool jv league that is euroleague. doubt he lasts long though.

[SourGrapes]

there will always be a few good apples in the highschool jv league that is euroleague. doubt he lasts long though.

What do you mean when you say you doubt he lasts long?

[alexd]

He won't be half as good as Spanoulis is.
he has much more upside than Spanoulis ever had.He s much much longer,more athletic,smarter,taller
They didn t draft him cause he is ready now.I ve mentioned in previous threads where you said he s nba ready and dominates the 2nd division etc
He has all the tools to be a poor man s KD.He ll never be that good(KD was lightyears ahead at this age)but he ll be solid.Once he buffs a bit and learn the pace of the NBA he ll have a fine career if given the chance.He s hard worker.I ve played against him and the guy is hard match up cause he s soooo damn long,he can dribble(not an excellent ballhander but good enough for his height)average shooter but can get better and can use both hands.He needs to play better defense.He can but he gets lazy sometimes and doesn t have the correct stance
Spanoulis at his age was very fast and explosive,not a very good shooter,lethal slasher,but again low iq

[andremiller07]

He looks a lot more like Batum than KD in terms of the way he plays

[dannywpt]

If he averages more than 3 on 30% then he'll be better

2.7 PPG on 31,9%, actually. Stop hating on V-Span, the gift sent from the basketball gods themselves. More athletic than Rose and Westbrook combined. Would easily carry a team of scrubs to an NBA championship himself. He would be the real T-Mac, even if he played alongside McGrady.

:applause:

[BoutPractice]

He looks and moves like KD, without the historically good scoring skills but with more defensive potential and better passing instincts - more like a 6'10 Pippen. Based on pure eye test, he's got the highest potential of anyone in this draft (maybe the Bucks finally get their Dirk after trading him away all those years ago :lol At least their Kirilenko). Raw as hell, but he's only 18 (!) and he'll often make the kind of play that's simply out of reach for 90% of current NBA players. Just imagine what he could be like 5 years from now if he develops.

[Nash]

Giannis was the 4th best player of Greece's under 20 team.
I would love to see someone with knowledge actually clarify this. Sounds like Euroeleague bs

[dr.hee]

Well Euroleague was the one hyping him up originally. Calling him the "hottest prospect", better than Shaun Livingston at the same age ( who went on to be a better NBA player in his 1st year than Spanoulis btw), even citing Danny Ainge saying he's "Pippen like". But now that he's in the NBA, and probably dropping rookie numbers his boy toy V-Span could only dream of, Euroleague realizes that being better than 18 year old Livingston means being better than NBA rookie Spanoulis, too. So now he has to hate him of course.

:lol

im calling just another preseason/summer league legend and an actual bust in the nba league... out of the league in 5 years.

it really comes down to his work ethic and avoiding injuries.He has all the physical tools and one thing everyone should know about him is that he loves to pass.He isn t a ballhog that s a big plus for someone his age

His court vision is one thing that really sets him apart from most skinny, super athletic wings. Most of these guys have such an advantage with their athleticism and length when they're in high school and it turns them into selfish, shoot first players. It's rare you see a kid that young with those physical skills who is such a willing and capable passer.

The length in the front court with those 3 is absurd.

It s a fact that Diamantidis>Spanoulis
And it s a fact that Antetokoumpo has more upside than Spanoulis.It s up to him to become better
He can be a poor man s KD which isn t bad at all if you ask me

Couldn't make the Greek team?! That's a good thing. Whoever selects players for the Greek team are probably blind.

11th place this year in Eurobasket
Eliminated by Africa last year in the Olympic qualifiers becoming the first team in FIBA history ever eliminated by an African team in a playoffs
11th place in the 2010 WC

By keeping super scrubs like Spanoulis and Bourousis on the Greek team instead of infusing young talent like Antekokounmpo who ever is selecting the players for Greeks NT have turned them from a top basketball team in the world into a pitiful joke.

You said it numerous times and you know it.

So tell me, what is it like to be a stan of a player that spits on opponents, grabs their balls, hits their balls, elbows their balls, elbows their faces, has the refs in his pocket, etc?

That says he would rather lay on a beach, fish, and hang out with his girlfriend, than play for his national team?

Seriously, this Euroleague account has to be Jeff posting. Simply to get more traffic for the site, and to give people someone to argue with. No one is this stupid.


:applause:

I actually typed nearly the same thing about Euroleague and suggested that crazy Budaadiii poster was another puppet of Jeff's to generate traffic. :oldlol:

But then thought twice and deleted my post :lol

Kid is smart.

Spanoulis can't carry Diamintidis jockstrap

Not even close:no:

And should not be mention on the same breath

Hopefully this kid can do what Greek ballerina failed to do:oldlol:

He will be the first Greek to average over 4 points per game.:applause:

Then why did Diamantidis say that Spanoulis is his idol?

As the sole Bucks fan left I was really excited to see a 6 page thread about our youngest player. Then I read the thread.

Diamantidis trying to win a game with refs that are not paid off...................priceless.

Here's an article published today with some interesting quotes about Giannis and his family.

[QUOTE]The interest from NBA personnel departments helped the brothers earn spots on the Greek National Team. An issue had to be resolved, however. In order to travel they needed passports. To have a passport, they needed citizenship.

Giannis, Thanasis, Kostas and Alex (the four children) were all born in Greece, but as children of Nigerian immigrants they were never recognized as Greeks. Nothing was ever steady, certain. They faced evictions, moved from place to place. They had survived together as a family, the boys selling sunglasses, hats and bags on the street. (Mother) Veronica babysat, (Father) Charles worked as a handyman. Once Giannis and Thanasis picked up basketball, they shared the same shoes.

Being evicted for not paying rent on time..........so much hypocrisy...........what is wrong with you?

At least this time you spelled his name right, after about 50 tries.
oh, and then there is this ---->

You told me about 500 times here that his name was spelled, "Vasiliadis" and that, "I was spelling it wrong", and that "you had proof because, Euroleague.net spelled it Vasiliadis".

The guy that made the spelling mistake there at that website finally fixed it, probably being asked to by the player himself.

Your endless greatness never ceases to amaze.
