And this
Vassilus Spanoulis : They call me the TMac of Europe.
Jeff Van Gundy : we have the real TMac here, sit your asss up, you're a turnover machine.
Kukoc's nicknames in Europe were The Pink Panther and The Waiter.
Spanoulis' nicknames in Europe are Kill Bill and Most Vassilis Player (MVP).
What you posted is made up bullshit by lying NBA only fans. No one in Europe ever called them that. Mother****ers like you just made that shit up and lied about it.
