link?
After riots at Greek Finals he told reporters he is tired of this and he will be heading to NBA next season.
link?
There is no link he said in TV. He seemed very serious when he said this. Now is chance for Spurs to sign him quick while Splitter is ing around with Real Madrid offers.
Bourousis will be cheaper and he is better anyway.
there were rumours goin around in june 2009 that the spurs offered him a 4 yr contract with more money compared to what olympiakos offered him.....dont know if its true...but if we can get this guy, it would awesome...looks like a 2 year project....but he has a pretty decent mid range shot, shot blocking.....am all for signing this guy if he wants to play here in the NBA
How many years in a row is it that some Greek player has said he is definitely coming over to the NBA, yet they never do.
He's not a project at all. Right now he is easily ready to start in NBA. He is better than Splitter. The way he played in Greek finals is better than any center in Europe.
Not this again.
Aha, well im skeptic. We had such reports earlier and nothing happened. We'll see
I can imagine.
Lol 'Peace and Friendship' stadium, how fittingPanathinaikos appear to have won their eighth consecutive basketball le after their fourth game against Olympiakos was suspended due to persistent crowd trouble with the Greens 2-1 up in the series and leading in the match.
Another sad chapter was written in the history of Greek sport on Sunday night and early Monday morning when Olympiakos fans managed to repeatedly disrupt Game 4 of the A1 final series by throwing objects, including bottles and smoke bombs at Panathinaikos players and fighting with riot police.
The Greens had a 76-69 lead over Olympiakos one minute from the end when a third outbreak of unruly behaviour from the stands led to the game being called off.
The referees awarded the game to Panathinaikos with a 20-0 score. The final result will be confirmed by a sports court, which is likely to award the game to Panathinaikos although the Reds may appeal this.
Officers used tear gas to quell rioting fans before the game began, leading to the game at the Peace and Friendship Stadium beginning 40 minutes late. Many Reds fans appeared to feel aggrieved about some of the referees' decisions in Game 3, which Panathinaikos won.
Peace and friendship were in short supply in Neo Faliro and the game was stopped again after 25 minutes, with Panathinaikos leading 50-42 when a smoke bomb exploded next to the visitors' bench.
At 10 minutes to midnight, this led to the referees leading both teams back into the locker rooms to allow the police to get a grip of the situation.
The stadium only had some 2,000 fans when the two teams returned at shortly before 1 a.m. to finish the game following repeated pleas by the Angelopoulos brothers, who own Olympiakos basketball club, as well as several of the players.
However, with just over a minute left on the clock in the fourth quarter and Panathinaikos leading 76-69, the few Reds' fans left in the stadium started to throw water bottles and other objects onto the court, prompting the referees to suspend play again.
The end to the game rounds off a miserable season for Olympiakos, who were soundly beaten in the Euroleague final by Barcelona. For Panathinaikos, the A1 League le will be some consolation for an unusually poor showing in Europe but following Sunday's events, nobody involved in Greek basketball can take any comfort.
Ugh, again?
Let the big fish stay in the pond before the sharks of the NBA tear him apart.
Just to show you how much the greek suck, here's the game with the spurs against KBP team..
The spurs on them.. In the preseason... With scrubs. The only highlight is see of him is Hill stripping the ball from him...
Even Mason on them.
Here's more ting..
I can see it now..
They air Greek channels in Arkansas?
Duh, it's totally a Greek province.
They have riots at High School gyms now???
he'll probably say that the greek refs need to officiate.
After watching the Greek finals, I'd rather have the inferior player. Do they practice any defense?
I thought that the attention got banned?

Oly's big guys Giannis Bouroussis and Sofoklis Schortsanitis are also rumored to be packing their bags and take off for the NBA. Big Sofo's contract is running out and it is very likely that he will try his luck with the Clippers. On the other hand Bouroussis signed a 2-year extension just last summer (third year option), but in the frame of the salary/contract renegotiation promoted by the management he might as well seek to depart. Rumors about Real being interested have also popped up recently.
I wanna play in the NBA next season too. I'm done with 24 hour fitness after they raised their membership rates last week.
As usual Ricky Rubio had a horrible tournament and was pretty much outplayed by the other point guard in almost every game (only the New Zealand point guard was outplayed by him).
Once again Rubio proves he sucks and that NBA general managers, scouts, fans are re s.
Ricky:
40 assists
13 turnovers
Billy:
14 assists
15 turnovers
Now go back into hiding. Nobody missed you.
If you're going to show your face, admit to all your spectacular failures leading up to Greece's craptacular exit from the tournament.
lol Greece
Ricky> vspan
Especially the scout that said Spamopolis was any good.
