Dirk Nowitzki Fails To Break Nikos Galis' All Time FIBA EuroBasket Scoring Record

Lol even Ricky Rubio would be a better player than Galis if he played in that era of euro basketball

Niko Galis was drafted 68th by the Boston Celtics.

Then he went to Europe and became a Greek GOD.

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Dirk doesn't seeem too concerned about any of this

[QUOTE]Lmao, that shit would never fly in the NBA in the 80s, no wonder Galis left his homeland the USA to go to Greece.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, yeah, wait, we've never seen these types of "arguments" before (see: 60's-70's NBA stars).
It took a broken hand for the Celtics to cut him last from the training camp, despite having performed pretty well against players like Nate Archibald. One of the Celtics' coaching assistants who had signed for his cutting (Dan Peterson) claimed later that he and the Celtics blundered. I'll take his opinion.

This means what exactly? Oscar Schmidt was drafted 131st in 1984 and became a scoring god in Europe. But, the great Greg Wiltjer was drafted 43rd. ZOMG, imagine what a God he'd be in Europe! They'd probably take away the last 3 letters of his surname. :bowdown:

PS. The "great" Wiltjer was Galis' teammate in a season when Galis averaged close to 40 ppg in both Greek and European Championship (the Euroleague of its time). Wiltjer was a 12/10 or so guy at an era when there were dozens of players who had such types of stats...

[QUOTE=ACCBaller1403]As I said, he looks good, albeit against poor man and help D. BELIEVE me I hate when people bash older players. My knowledge is admittedly not up to par on the Euro game but I know the NBA from around 82 on and have read and watched as much as I can from before then. I believe great players translate across eras...but I can unequivocally, without a doubt say that the D in that video was not on par with what we were seeing in the NBA from at least the 70s on.

From my 5+ years of posting I know you're a knowledgeable old school poster but even you admitted the D wasn't advanced. I'm not saying all Euro D was poor; I simply don't know enough to make a judgement one way or the other. THAT video, however, had some poor, poor D.

Also, thank you for posting with intelligence and respect unlike that joke Euroleague.[/QUOTE]


That "poor D" was the team that beat team USA at the Olympics.

[QUOTE=ACCBaller1403]Way to support your argument. Then you wonder why everyone calls you a troll and wants you banned. Even the Kobe trolls think you're a troll which is very telling.

Instead of making threads crying about racism just because people don't support your awful ideas, you should work on comic up with evidence for what you're saying.

Until then you'll be seen as a joke.[/QUOTE]

Anyone that says the defense in that video is as bad or worse than current NBA defense is a troll. So thus, you are a troll.

[QUOTE=SpecialQue]Fvckin' SWEET goal tend at the 48 second mark.[/QUOTE]

In FIBA rule, once the basket touch the rim, anything goes. Not a Goal Tend under FIBA rules.

I watched the video, and I LOL'd!

The two comments on there are hilarious, but very accurate!

[QUOTE=Euroleague]That "poor D" was the team that beat team USA at the Olympics.[/QUOTE]

That wasn't directed at you. Go back to posting threads asking why everyone is so racist towards you...

lmao. i lol'd at the marbury comment. galis was a scrub. adam morrison would destroy that league

[QUOTE=Walker]I don't get it, Eurotrash is telling us all that an American is the best ever European scorer? :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]
Damn, this post makes my stomach hurt. :lol

By the way is that porno music in the back of the highlight video?

[QUOTE=BlackJoker23]lmao. i lol'd at the marbury comment. galis was a scrub. adam morrison would destroy that league[/QUOTE]

league?

Wow, you really are a moron.

[QUOTE=Euroleague]True. But unlike Galis, he has never won a EuroBasket championship.[/QUOTE]
I'm sure Galis would rather have an NBA title. I've heard numerous players from Europe say how the NBA is their dream, how they'd like to come here. The opposite, not at all.

It's a 2nd tier league. Get over it.
