[QUOTE]Spanoulis, however, also offered advice that makes a good epilogue to his brief NBA career.
It is worth noting that Spanoulis has done just fine for himself since leaving the NBA. He was frustrated with his lack of playing time with the Rockets, vowed never to return and was unmoved by the overtures from the Spurs when the Rockets traded him to San Antonio for the rights to Scola. He has excelled in Europe and in FIBA play, is wildly popular and would have made it had he stuck it out in the NBA.
He has also been characterized as bitter at the Rockets and former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy for his one failed season. But when Papanikoloau mentioned the counsel he received from his former Olympiakos teammate, noting the surprise it inspired, he shared Spanoulis
