Giannis- Best interview of his life

[CharityStripe34]

Seeing Giannis play in Europe would make me really sad. A legend of basketball having to stoop that low. Easily the best greek player to ever touch a basketball is too far above that.

Meh, if at 37-38 years old he decided he wanted to finish up a year or two playing in Greece I think it'd be fun. He'd still be functionally athletic and strong at his size (he maintains great shape). I think he'd actually stay true to his word (hypothetically) and play for a smaller club instead of PAO or Oly.

As was already pointed out earlier in the thread by someone that wasn't just trolling like crazy here in this thread, he would probably be doing the Marc Gasol thing, if he did go back to Europe.

Marc Gasol went back to his old club, Girona, and he played in the Spanish 2nd division.

Another example would be Antonis Fotsis. He retired from the EuroLeague, and then went back to his old club, Ilysiakos, where he played in Greece's 3rd and 4th divisions.

In the scenarios being wildly trolled about in this thread, once Giannis was physically diminished enough and declined enough to retire from the NBA, he would much more likely be doing something like the Marc Gasol / Antonis Fotsis thing.

Maybe he would go back to either one of his old Greek clubs, Filathlitikos or Triton, and play in the Greek lower divisions.

The extreme trolling in this thread, about Giannis being retired from the NBA, because he was no longer at that level as a player, and then becoming the peak 1960s version of Wilt Chamberlain in the EuroLeague, isn't just delusional, it's also a truly pathetic display of Ugly American syndrome.

Giannis would probably be more than happy to go the Marc Gasol / Antonis Fotsis route ro end things.

And to further illustrate the ludicrous level of trolling that is happening in this thread, there were posters in these forums that claimed that Marc Gasol was going to be the best player in EuroLeague history, when he went back to Europe to play.

While on the actual planet Earth, he was playing in Spain's 2nd division.

There isn't even a need for the kind of player Giannis would be without athleticism in EuroLeague.

Amare Stoudamire minus athleticism already played in the EuroLeague. That already happened. This isn't even a hypothetical. Amare minus athleticism already was a thing in the EuroLeague that happened.

Post athleticism Amare was so dominant in the EuroLeague, with his averages of 1.3 points and 0.8 rebounds per game. Post athleticism Amare was very clearly the best player in Europe, as everyone knows that 1.3 points and 0.8 rebounds per game automatically makes you the best player in Europe.

Everyone that has even a very rudimentary understanding of the most basic basketball knowledge, knows that third string centers that average 1.3 points and 0.8 rebounds per game, like Amare did in the EuroLeague, are of course, easily the best player in all of Europe.

You wanna laugh at something… 2.7 ppg, .7 rpg, .9 apg… 31% as well.

You wanna guess whose stats those are?

It was sad time watching minor league Monta Ellis embarrass himself in the big league. There wasn't a single thing he could do at NBA level. Couldn't defend (obviously) couldn't make a play at all, couldn't get past anyone, never had an NBA three ball and he looked like a toddler trying to deal with NBA bigs.

Just flat out one of the worst guys to step onto an NBA court. Just tiers below the level. Really sad.

His obtuse posts are never ending, just like his constant wiki edits of the player who posted those laughable stats.
