[QUOTE]DALLAS -- [B]Championship or not, Dallas Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd said he has no plans of entering retirement with one more season left on his contract.[/B]

Kidd, 38 and feeling "great," is trying to become the oldest point guard in NBA history to win a championship. It would be the first of his 17-year career, and on Saturday he said if it happens it won't send him riding off into the sunset.

"I would love to continue to keep playing if I feel the way I do now," Kidd said. "I feel great."[/QUOTE]

The "one more season left on his contract" is during a lockout season. After the season is locked out, he will retire and be replaced by Spanoulis, according to the rumors in Greece.

How is OP not banned?

He makes a random thread about an NBA team wanting to sign some euro player like every month and he's never right. And all he does is bash on American bball and well known euro players.

Wow, that song is LULZ in the worst way. But is dude really considered the 3rd best in the Euroleague ? He looks alot like Jose Calderon with Juan Carlos Navarro's fluid movement....not like he'd be the 3rd best on the continent.

Why woud they sign Spanoulis?

He already came over to the NBA before and hated the thought of ever being a backup. Its the same situation with Navarro & Jasikevicious too. They are so used to being "stars" in Europe that their egos cant permit them to being a minimal credited contributor off the bench.

He was voted 3rd best European player on the planet. Not the "continent".

Jasikevicius left the NBA and returned to Europe and he spent the last 4 years as a minimal bench player. He played more in the NBA for the most part than he does in Europe. What is your point exactly?

All these Euro-phags suck anyways

Yeah, they want a SG with close-to-none PG skills and zero defense to replace Jason Kidd. Makes sense.

He is a good player, he pick and rolled Team USA to death, but Greek players have a horrible track record in the NBA.

Well, every single year NBA starters and 6th men from NBA playoff teams have gone to the Euroleague and became scrubs there.

[QUOTE=Lebowsky]Yeah, they want a SG with close-to-none PG skills and zero defense to replace Jason Kidd. Makes sense.[/QUOTE]

Spanoulis would be the best defender at point guard in the NBA. His "point guard skills" are at least on par with someone like current Kidd.

If there's a lock out that prevents another NBA season, Kidd will probably retire. He's said that.

[QUOTE=Euroleague]Well, every single year NBA starters and 6th men from NBA playoff teams have gone to the Euroleague and became scrubs there.[/QUOTE]

1.) Name some.

2.) Nobody cares about the Euroleague anyways, they're just there to collect their paycheck.

And every year, some soft Euro leagues comes to the NBA and completely sucks, so there's that as well.

Bro, you are a horrible person. Please rethink things in your life (not joking).

So what happened before? He was pretending to suck just to fake us all out?

How long until you call me racist? I'd like to be prepared.

Von Wafer, Jannero Pargo, Gordon Giricek, Sean May, Bostjan Nachbar, and about 10 more of the same exact examples.

Every single one of them was a starter or 6th man in the NBA and became a scrub in Euroleague. Every single year its the same thing as there are 2-3 more such examples every season.

EUROLEAGUE (Lakas): "Jordan would be a back up in Euroleague....the zones would confuse him and he would never see any action."

You idiot. Every single player I listed was a 6th man or starter in the NBA.

"never seen an NBA star go to Europe in his prime"......

BULL SHIT

Wilkins and Radja did and neither one "dominated" anything. They were among the very best players, but they sure the hell were nothing remotely resembling "dominant".

You don't know anything about basketball.

Every single one of them was a 6th man or starter in the NBA before they went to Euroleague and there are plenty of such more examples.

They went to Euroleague after being 6th men and starters in the NBA and became scrubs in Euroleague.

Those are the facts, whether you like it or not.

[QUOTE=hawksdogsbraves]Yeah like Josh Childress

Oh wait[/QUOTE]

Josh Childress sucked in Euroleague. He was not a scrub but he was nothing more than the 5-8 best player on Olympiacos.

Of course, being a Hawks fan you probably are so delusional that you actually think he was some great Euroleague player.

Yeah, he was HORRIBLE, absolutely HORRIBLE in his first season. He was better in his second season, but still,

could not shoot, could not score one to one, and was a big liability on offense.

In fact, he was far better in the NBA with the Hawks than he ever was in Euroleague. What the Suns saw this year was the same complete crap POS player that was in Europe for 2 years.

The ugliest shot known to man, and people laughing at him in every single arena he played at in Europe. A dumb team that gave him a ridiculous contract and was literally praying and begging for him to opt out of it.

Josh Childress on the Suns is the exact same POS as he was on Olympiacos.

Nonetheless, he was a starter on an NBA playoff team with the Hawks before that. He went to the Euroleague and was a total POS.

Childress was a cancer on olympiacos imo.

Spanoulis is great player, but not top 3 from eu.

that is all.

Mavs want Brusselis Sproutis to replace Jason Kidd

Childress in the NBA started 44 games in his rookie season, but only 23 games in his following 3 years with the Hawks (including 0 in his last season before he left). He also never started in a playoff game (only played 7 playoff games.)... they only made the playoffs once when he was on the Hawks :confusedshrug: Get your facts straight.

He didnt work out in the NBA, so he went to Greece.. (got a 20$ contract) where he became an all star...
Childress' style of play really didn't fit in with Euroball. I saw the same when Orien Greene came over to play for Amsterdam. He was easily the most talented/gifted player on the squad, but he played a different type of ball.

[QUOTE]Von Wafer[/QUOTE]
13 NBA starts (in 167 games), averaging 12 MPG. NBA scrub. In Europe, he didn't work out... not because he didnt have the talent, but because he didnt fit in. His coach said: "Von Wafer had a totally different philosophy than ours and could not adapt to ours. If someone is not up for it even to try, then he better stop doing it altogether". Same problem with Childress pretty much..
Guys have more talent, but play a different game.

[QUOTE] Jannero Pargo[/QUOTE]
18 NBA starts, 379 games played.. 15.7 MPG. No playoff starts, ever. Averaged just 14MPG in the playoffs. Goes to Greece - [B]Makes All star.[/B], eventhough he doesnt fit in

[QUOTE]Gordon Giricek [/QUOTE]
Started about half of the games he played in in the NBA and was a decent roleplayer, just like he was in Moscow, Turkey and Croatia.. :confusedshrug: And he's a euro btw

[QUOTE]Sean May [/QUOTE]
Started 25 out of the 119 games he played - all for none playoff/horrible teams. Has some talent, but is always out of shape.. No team in the NBA wants him.. [B]Total NBA scrub. Goes to Turkey and becomes a roleplayer on a championship winning team[/B] :hammerhead:

[QUOTE]Bostjan Nachbar[/QUOTE]

Started just 25 NBA games (317 played). Played in 18 playoff games (just 12.4 MPG). Decent bench player in the NBA, just like he is now in Turkey :confusedshrug: Played some pretty good ball in Moscow too.

Bring em!



owned?!

I guess the "Greek TMac" should go to Detroit and replace the real one, now that TMac is a 5 ppg player... So should Sofo, replace Shaq.

Kidd will not retire before fulfilling his (and his fellow NBAers') dream of playing in the mighty Mediterranean League.
