Ok folks, after another double bottlejob in the Eurobasket its time to bring this up and decide.

Who is the one eurofraud to rule them all:
-Both of them are 30.
-Both of them lack the mamba mentality.
-Both of them won 1 chip each and nothing after that.
-It seems that both of them don't really care about winning and their legacy.
-Gaping holes in their game like lack of defence, shooting, traveling on every possession.

Greece made it to the semifinal and that's their best result in years because besides Giannis they have very weak talent pool in comparison to the past. Turkiye is easily a superior team, for example.

Serbia almost defeated the US last year and won a medal at the Olympics.

Yeah, they disappointed here and there, I still remember 39yo Scola destroying Jokic at the WCH, but they're not that bad.

And that's ignoring all the other ridiculous points made by the OP ('lack of mamba mentality', lol).

Stupid thread. Turkey defended Giannis really well and were the better team collectively. The shrunken floor also doesn’t really suit Antetokounmpo’s playing style. I didn’t watch the Serbia–Finland game, so I won’t comment on that, but in the end basketball is a team sport, and it’s the better team -not just the one with the biggest star- that wins.

I LOLed at the nicknames despite my contempt towards this dancing on Sports failures.
Greece simply isn't the team they were, and the talent around Giannis isn't good, Serbia lost their FIBA leader in Bogi and didn't recover.
Both of these players are generational talents that teams built successful rosters around, and who bring elite and very unique capabilities on the court, something that we, Sports fans, yearn for and wait for years to have the privilege to enjoy.
The whole world (well, most of the world) celebrated when Gonzalo Montiel scored that penalty in the WC final and Messi finally lifted the world cup, but even had that not happened, it wouldn't change Messi's incredible GOAT tier career with Barcelona.

Don't feed the troll.
Both played a very good tournament.

Are people trolling or what, what is with the non stop hate? Giannis averaging 26.8/9.5/3.8 on 68.2TS% and 39 PER, but hes a fraud cause he didn't win gold? Greece already overachieved considering pre tournament power rankings.

What is it that makes you happy to post nonsense? Why is that a thing?

This forum ain't Reddit, go there with your hot takes.

Giannis won a championship with less help than anyone in the 21st Century, and for the last 6 years he's averaged 29.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists, .575 field, and been one of the very best defenders in the NBA.
Giannis is arguably the best 2-way player in NBA history, and certainly the best 2-way player since Michael Jordan retired.

LOL. We need better trolls on this board.

Sounds like excuses.

I nominate Giannis for biggest Euro fraud and Jokic for biggest horse jockey fraud. Everyone gets a trophy.

Finland found the holes in Jokic's (defensive) game and attacked him relentlessly. Tomorrow they will exploit weaknesses Giannis has, forcing him to be a jump shooter.

Cool another obtuse thread… makes it easier for all of us to identify horrible posters.
