Spanoulis was kinda like an old, giant headed Monta Ellis without any athleticism.
Thanasis >>>>>>> Spanoulis.
That's disrespectful to Monta "Monta Ellis have it all" Ellis
Spanoulis could have been poor mans Kyle Lowry IMO, but his problem that the first moment it got tough for him in his carrier, he cried and ran away whining how JVG was unfair to him. Lots of players have a tough time when they are rookies, and yeah, sometimes they mistreated for no good reason, but players usually have a competitive drive to keep working and prove themselves against the best of the best.
But dont tell this to the OP, he thinks NBA is barely any better than holly Euroleague, he thinks Spanoulis was top 3 player in the world rofl, he just recently said that Euroleague and NBA role players are same caliber, look at my signature for his latest gem, and he dares to compare Spanoulis to all time great Drazen Petrovic, because Petrovic was mistreated as a rookie too. Unlike coward Spanoulis, Drazen didnt run away when American coaches didnt believe in him and mistreated him, he kept working and at the end was almost going toe to toe with MJ, but this delusional fan dares to compare NBA bust Spanoulis to Drazen Petrovic, one of the best Euro players of all time...
