I don't know why you and others (such as on Reddit), think this is some kind of loss for euros?

Americans really have a warped sense of reality. TV isn't real you know.

Even my father, who is a leftist asshole, frequently complains about blacks on european national teams.

[Bronbron23]

This shouldn't be news. It's always race and culture before country. It's always been that way for the most part. Its funny how when Canadian or American Greeks or Lebanese say there Lebanese or Greek everyone is fine with it. When a black person from Canada or america say there African people look at them sideways.

There's a massive double standard in that immigrants and deluded white leftists will say that "of course they are american/greek/whatever" of some immigrant, but in private the same immigrants would proudly declare to be indian or lebanese or whatever.

I've never seen an immigrant get their blood boiling over some insult to their new country. I've seen immigrants practically stage civil wars with other immigrants all the time: kurds vs turks, shias vs sunnis etc.

It's completely pathetic and why I think this is so great that the cucks who call Giannis greek get their deserved scorn.

There shouldn't be a single african on any european national team.

[AngelEyes]

This is nothing. Giannis has always taken pride in his Nigerian roots and his Greek upbringing, this is nothing new.

[gabepizza]

So why did he play for the Greek NT?

[AngelEyes]

So why did he play for the Greek NT?

Because he's proud of being a Greek citizen . . . he's also proud of his Nigerian ancestry. The two are not mutually exclusive. There's a reason he has a Nigerian flag and a Greek flag on his twitter account, he's proud of both. People are attempting to create division and create a controversy where there isn't one.

Exactly. Giannis has said many times that he considers himself Greek-Nigerian.

The last time, in his personal account on twitter, where he says that he considers Greece his homeland (https://twitter.com/Giannis_An34/status/1062952630937366528/photo/1).



You think anyone european considers Giannis greek? Or Serge Ibaka spanish?

:lol


Are you actually comparing Ibaka, who was born, and lived until he was 17 in Congo, to Giannis?

Giannis was born and raised in Greece. His native language is Greek. His best friends are all Greeks. Every summer he is back in Greece. He has never even been in Nigeria in his whole life. He chose to play for the Greek NT.

This is from the night he was drafted:

http://www.nba.com/media/global/antet-greece-130708-670.jpg

Doesn't look like a Nigerian flag to me.

And if you bothered to read the whole interview you would understand that he is talking about roots and ancestry.



Giannis:

Greece got CUCKED big time.



Of course he sees himself as a nigerian, it's completely stupid to think he would feel otherwise. Only deluded hippies would think otherwise. It's funny to imagine the butthurt of greek hardcore fans though.





It's completely pathetic and why I think this is so great that the cucks who call Giannis greek get their deserved scorn.



Nevermind. You are a f*cking idiot. :facepalm

[PejaNowitzki]

This is nothing. Giannis has always taken pride in his Nigerian roots and his Greek upbringing, this is nothing new.


This. He was born in Greece, raised in Greece, lived most of his life in Greece. Not sure he's even been to Nigeria. He clearly has an appreciation for his Nigerian roots, like many first generation Americans have an appreciation for the culture of their parents and the land they came from.


He's made it clear that he considers himself both Greek and Nigerian. Not different from many Americans who consider themselves Mexican and American, Italian and American, German and American, Chinese and American...etc.


People reading far more into these comments then it actually there. He's talked at length about Greek friends and others who helped him along in his career and were there to support him. He plays for the Greek National Team and still has a home there.

[Mr.GOAT2408]

Yeah, he's embraced both his Nigerian roots and his Greek upbringing.

I like calling him the Greek God because of the greek mythology aspect, but Nigerian Nightmare is such an awesome name even if it's already taken it's a very fitting name for Giannis and his style of play and it's the opposite of Hakeem's own nickname

So popular that they are a vast minority in government. They hold 18 seats out of 300. The party that actually is in power is incredibly progressive.

This is a lie, he's never once said this. He's literally said the upset, Greeks gave him and his family clothes to wear, jobs and were the reason why he got into pro basketball

If everything goes right (and that's a big if) this year I'll be getting my Greek citizenship, after 11 years living in Greece. Yeah, you read that right, 11 years until it was finally my turn to get into the process. This is an extremely nationalist country.

And now imagine Adentokoumpo who was born and raised here and they gave him the citizenship only when they realized he's going to be an awesome basketball player. If it was me in his shoes, I'd tell the whole Greece they can kiss my ass and I don't need anything from them any more. But I guess Giannis was a more forgiving person.

The number of years you've lived in a country should in no way be enough for a citizenship.

10+ years should be a minimum. Then you'd have to prove that you love your new country and would be willing to die for it. Military service should help, so would having children with a local. Charity work.

It's an absolute travesty how European countries give away citizenship like candy.

Noah is not even the worst of the worst. His parents were both French and he lived in France as a child for like 10 years.

The two worse I can think of are Chris Kaman who played for Germany because hie great grandparents were German and Ibaka who played for Spain where he lived for less then 3 years as a teenager.

But Ibaka is the worst of the worst. Kaman wouldn't make Team USA so he decided to play for Team Germany. Ibaka on the on the other hand could have played for an Africa Team (The Congo) like his parents did but instead choose Spain where he basically had a layover in the airport. And this is after the dunk contest in the all star game where he had people bring in all all the African flags shown to prove how proud he is too be African and then goes and plays for Spain. He is a hypocrite and the lowest of the low, human vermin.

It's the spanish national team directors who are a disgrace. They just want to win and make a mockery of the concept of national teams.

Bullshit. People should not be penalized for not winning a lottery of being born into a more developed country. Merit over luck. If you can in five years prove you can really contribute, you should be in, no nonsense.

Greece survived as a nation for 3000 years, against Persians, Romans, Ottomans, Turks and now you want them to forget their 3000 year history and make Giannis a greek, just because someone says he is?

What does it matter? Why do people care so much about being part of a country which is not theirs? Why can't Giannis just be a nigerian who grew up in Greece and still be a great basketball player.

If he wants to be a Nigerian, nothing wrong with that. But he is born and raised in Greece, which should give him a right to the citizenship by every legal standard of every sane country. But in Greece you actually have 30 year olds who lived their whole lives here and never knew any other home but Greece and they are not citizens, which is a god damn disgrace.

One of the dumbest statements I've ever heard. 1000 years lol. Slavery only ended 150 years ago. Most of the first world nation's got rich off forcing others to do the hard work. Blacks have only really been given a fair shot in the last few decades. White people have basically had a 600 year head start. It has nothing to do with sacrifice and the b.s you talking.

Greece never had slaves they WERE slaves for 400 years (http://saintandrewgoc.org/home/2018/3/26/greece-400-years-of-slavery-under-the-ottoman-turks-1453-1821), you dumb fukk product of a ghetto school. Greece became independent 100 years ago!

Holy shit, how do you make it through the day.

Do you know why it's called slavery? It's because the SLAVS were taken for centuries by the millions to be slaves.

Man, you guys need your school money back.
