Why The Hell Isn't Nick Galis In The Basketball Hall of Fame?

[Euroleague]

Didn't you put me on ignore ?

Lol @ NBA rejects & second tier Americans dominating in Europe.

Only one American in history dominated in Europe dumb ass.

[Euroleague]

This game is from 1989, Zagreb. I was talking of the 1987 Euro Finals, as can be seen in my previous post.

The 1989 Soviet team was the same team that beat Team USA in the 1988 Olympics. Galis beat the Soviet Union in both 1987 and 1989.

I even showed the youtube clip to prove it. He outscored Sabonis in the game as well, by 45-19.


So yes, you are trolling to try to make it sound like Galis didn't beat the same Soviet team that beat Team USA. Trying a pathetic attempt to manipulate and twist the truth so the American NBA only fans will believe it (since their collective basketball knowledge is pathetic).

Did he plaY in the nba?

Oh boy, this post is gonna make OP mad.

[elementally morale]

So yes, you are trolling.

I think you have some mental disorder, so I'm leaving now. It is one thing to be dumb, but at the same time you are not entertaining. Bad combination. ByeZ.

Pure Lakas_Fan_Yo in action:

That was a really weak troll attempt.

Welcome to ignore racist.

Quit trolling a-hole

Your basketball knowledge is incredibly pathetic.

You are a liar and now you are trolling this thread too.

Mental illness at its finest.

Here is what an NBA scout said about Nikos Galis:

"I have gone to NBA games and have talked to people who have played against Galis, and a former NBA GM described him as amazing to me."

Gallis was just crappy when compared to players of his time, that is why be never could join the league.

[Euroleague]

Gallis was just crappy when compared to players of his time, that is why be never could join the league.

Yeah that's why he was considered better than every European in the NBA of that time by EVERY single European basketball historian.

And news flash idiot you could not play in NBA and FIBA back then there was no agreement. It was not allowed. So STFU.

Oh, and Bob McAdoo (NBA MVP) who played with the Celtics and Lakers said that Galis was better than Bird and Magic.

And Michael Jordan said Galis was pretty good after Galis scored 50 against him.

Finishing his collegiate career in 1979, Galis signed with agent Bill Manon, who also managed Diana Ross. Manon did not have Galis work out with any NBA team.[9] Galis was eventually selected by the Boston Celtics in the 4th round of the 1979 NBA Draft, 68th overall.

Due to a severe injury that he suffered during the Celtics pre-season training camp, the franchise was no longer interested in offering him a contract because Gerald Henderson had taken his place and his injury would keep him out for the foreseeable future. It was then that Galis decided to pursue a professional career in Greece's A1 League. Galis would later be offered NBA contracts by the Celtics and the New Jersey Nets while he was playing in Greece, but he turned the offers down because at the time FIBA did not have professional status, something it did not gain until the year 1989, and therefore Galis would not have been allowed to play for the Greek national team if he was an NBA player. Since playing for Greece's national team meant so much to Galis, he stayed in Greece. Celtics legend Red Auerbach later said that the single biggest mistake he ever made in his career was not keeping Galis.

I'm just thankful that I got to watch Galis and Jordan in their prime. The greatest 2 players to ever lace them up.
Watch @ 3:40

Agreed. Galis and Jordan are the two best players I have ever seen.

According to the Basketball Hall of Fame, playing in the NBA is not a requirement to be inducted. In fact, it is not an "NBA Hall of Fame", but a Basketball Hall of Fame. It is for the entire world of basketball, not just NBA basketball.

Since Galis is one of the all-time greatest contributors to the sport of basketball in world history, it is very bizarre that he has not been inducted yet.

If he didnt play in the nba why are you posting this here? It has nothing to do with the nba, move this to the Euro boards.

[LilBTheBasedGod]

Another American that dominated in Europe.

Didn't Dominique Wilkins win a Euroleague tournament MVP or something?

[Chapallaz]

Only one American in history dominated in Europe dumb ass.

I can name 12 guys who dominated Europe all in the same year. And each of them is American. 92.

Heres a better question: How come Benard King isn't in the phuckin' HOF yet?
